1 Case No. C06-02750 RMW PVT

Stipulation and Proposed Order

to Extend Deadline for Mediation

CARLTON DiSANTE &

FREUDENBERGER LLP

As of Wednesday, March 27, 2007, the two parties have reached a tentative

settlement agreement in this matter. The part of the agreement includes the installation of a new

technology system by Defendant in order to provide remote American Sign Language Interpreting.

Before finalizing the agreement, Plaintiff has requested a demonstration of the system to assure its

quality and appropriateness as effective communication. Defendant is willing to provide such a

demonstration and has proposed a reasonable timetable for installing and demonstrating the system.

Once the system has been demonstrated and approved, the parties plan to draft the formal

settlement agreement and file for a stipulation of dismissal.

Both parties jointly petition the court to extend the mediation deadline to July 1st,

2007. Should the parties be unable to reach an agreement regarding the demonstration, they wish

to be able to return to mediation to resolve the matter. A proposed Order is attached to this Petition

for the Court’s approval.

Respectfully Submitted,

Dated: March 30, 2007
