STIPULATION AND ORDER APPROVING COMPROMISE SETTLEMENT

C07-4041 PVT 2

2. This is a settlement of Plaintiffs’ request for attorney fees and costs in this case. It does not

constitute an admission of liability or fault on the part of the Defendants or a concession as to the

propriety and amount of fees and costs. This agreement is entered into by the parties for the

purpose of compromising the request for fees and costs and avoiding the expense and risk of

further litigation.

3. The payment of $2,500 will constitute a full and complete release from and bar to any and

all claims, rights, causes of action, liens or subrogated interests relating to Wang v. Gonzalez,C07-

4041 PVT.

4. The payment may take sixty days or more to process, but the Defendants agree to make

good faith efforts to expeditiously process said payment.

5. Within 14 days of receipt of payment, the Plaintiffs will withdraw the motion for attorney’s

fees and costs.

6. The Court retains jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this settlement agreement.
