Pursuant to the Court's June 29, 2010 order and in advance of the August 30, 2010 status

conference, Plaintiff and Cross-Defendant DMB ERSB LLC ("DMB") and Defendant and CrossComplainant LONGWOOD SAN BENITO LLC ("Longwood") hereby submit this joint statement

concerning the status of settlement.

The parties have negotiated a complex agreement to distribute certain property rights

associated with the El Rancho San Benito venture, and to transfer DMB's membership interest in

the venture to Longwood. They have resolved all of the major points of contention and are in the

process of resolving the minor technical issues that remain. The parties currently plan to sign the

settlement agreement by August 18, 2010. Once the agreement is signed, a two-stage closing

process will occur, with the stages separated by a minimum of three days. The parties are

optimistic that the second stage of the closing process will be completed during the week of

August 23, 2010, after which the parties are required to file a stipulation of dismissal within three

days. Barring unforeseen circumstances, the parties expect to file a stipulation of dismissal by

August 27, 2010, which would obviate the need for the August 30, 2010 status conference.

 This case is currently set for a Status Conference re: Settlement on August 30, 2010.

file the appropriate Stipulated Dismissal.

the Stipulated Dismissal to bring this case to a close.
