Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16 and Civil Local Rule 16-10(c), plaintiffs Arthur

G. Maionchi, Edward A. Maionchi, Thomas S. Dinette and Charles J. Kraft (collectively, "Plaintiffs")

and defendant Union Pacific Corp. (“Union Pacific”) hereby stipulate and jointly request that the

Court schedule a Case Management Conference in this matter.

In 2003, Plaintiffs filed this breach of contract and declaratory relief action, seeking indemnity

from Union Pacific under a merger agreement for costs relating to environmental contamination at

property known as 1470A Industrial Avenue in San Jose, California.

On February 23, 2004, this Court granted the motion of defendant Union Pacific and thendefendant Safety-Kleen Services, Inc.

for summary judgment against Plaintiffs, and entered judgment

in favor of both defendants the same day. Plaintiffs appealed the judgment. On December 30, 2005,

the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed and remanded the February 23, 2004 judgment of this

Court. A copy of the Ninth Circuit’s judgment is attached as Exhibit A.

The parties hereby jointly request that the Court schedule a Case Management Conference for

the purposes of (1) considering issuance of a case scheduling order in this matter, and (2) resolving a

dispute among the parties regarding the issues remaining for trial.

The parties further request that the Court schedule the Case Management Conference for

October 13, 2006 or as soon thereafter as is convenient for the Court. The parties additionally request

that they be permitted to file separate Case Management Conference Statements, not to exceed fifteen

(15) pages in length, not fewer than ten (10) days prior to the conference, in which they will set out

In October 2004, Plaintiffs settled their claims with Safety-Kleen Services, Inc., and dismissed the

appeal as to that defendant.
