USDC EDC Case No. CIV.S-05-02248 FCD DAD 

The parties to this action, defendant Destination Tahoe Hotel, Inc. (“Defendant”), 

and plaintiffs Rebecca Cobain, Amanda Spitsen, and Amelia Espinoza (collectively, “Plaintiffs”), 

by and through their respective counsel of record, enter into this stipulation based on the 

following facts: 

WHEREAS, the initial trial date in this matter was set for June 19, 2007; 

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed upon a mutually convenient trial date of 

August 14, 2007 and request the Court to continue trial to that date; 

WHEREAS, the parties are still in the process of completing discovery and 

ascertaining the identity and taking the depositions of key witnesses; 

WHEREAS, with a trial date of June 19, 2007, the last day to file and serve notice 

of a dispositive motion is currently December 26, 2006; 

WHEREAS, the parties anticipate the need for follow-up discovery after the 

parties’ anticipated depositions prior to the filing of the anticipated dispositive motion(s); 

WHEREAS, the parties anticipate possible settlement discussions in connection 

with this case following further discovery; 

WHEREAS, the parties will not have adequate time to explore the possibility of 

settlement, to complete discovery, and to file dispositive motion(s), and to fully prepare the case 

for trial in time for the current trial date set for June 19, 2007; and 

WHEREAS, parties believe good cause exists to grant a continuance of the trial 

so that these matters can be adequately explored and completed. 

THEREFORE, THE PARTIES, BY AND THROUGH THEIR 

RESPECTIVE COUNSEL OF RECORD, HEREBY STIPULATE AS FOLLOWS: 

The current trial date of June 19, 2007 shall be vacated and all deadlines presently
