UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SAN JOSE DIVISION 

21X CAPITAL LTD.; DAVID A. 

BREWER, 

Plaintiffs, 

vs. 

ROBERT WERRA; JOHN WERRA; 20/20 

TECHNOLOGIES, INC. and DOES 1-50, 

inclusive, 

Defendants. 

Case No. C06-04135 JW (HRL) 

STIPULATED REQUEST FOR 

FURTHER ORDER STAYING ACTION 

Plaintiffs 21X Capital Ltd. and David A. Brewer, and defendants Robert 

Werra, John Werra, and 20/20 Technologies (collectively, "the Parties"), by and through their 

attorneys of record, respectfully request that the Court approve the following stipulation 

staying this action. 

This is an alter ego action in which plaintiffs allege that defendants are the alter 

egos of RJW Acquisitions, L.C. ("RJW"). RJW has filed for bankruptcy in the United States 

Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas (Sherman Division) (case no. 06-40238) 

and is the subject of ongoing bankruptcy proceedings in that court. In light of those 

bankruptcy proceedings, the Parties had earlier stipulated to a stay of this action. 

Specifically, by stipulation and order entered on July 25, 2006, this Court approved the

Parties' request for a stay through November 1, 2006, vacated the dates set forth in the July 3, 

2006 "order setting initial case management conference and ADR deadlines" (including but 

not limited to the dates for the initial disclosures and the initial case management conference) 

and took defendants' pending motion to dismiss or transfer venue off calendar (without 

waiver of defendants' right to re-set such motion following the lifting of the stay). 

As is relevant to the instant stipulation and request for further stay, two 

motions are currently pending before the Bankruptcy Court in Texas. Specifically, on 

December 4, 2006 the Bankruptcy Court will hear a motion to dismiss the RJW bankruptcy 

case and, if that motion is denied, on January 25, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court will hear a 

motion with respect to an alleged violation of the bankruptcy stay (the trustee of RJW's estate 

contends that the estate owns the alter ego claims pursued by plaintiffs in this action). 

In light of these pending motions, the Parties hereby stipulate that this action be 

stayed until February 1, 2007, subject to the right of any party to terminate the stay upon five 

(5) court days' written notice. Such written notice shall be provided both to the Court and to 

all counsel of record. Once the stay is lifted, defendants' pending motion to dismiss or 

transfer shall be re-set and the Parties shall attend a status conference on a date to be set by 

the Court to discuss the date for initial disclosures, ADR compliance and options, and other 

trial setting activities. 

The Parties, as well as RJW's trustee in bankruptcy, all agree that it will 

promote judicial efficiency, and is in the interests of the Parties and RJW, if this action is 

stayed until the further activities in RJW's Bankruptcy case take place.
