STIPULATION

WHEREAS the hearing on Plaintiff California Restaurant Association’s ("CRA") Motions for 

Declaratory Relief and a Preliminary Injunction ("Motions") in each of the related actions is currently 

scheduled for October 16, 2008; 

WHEREAS, on August 31, 2008, the California Legislature passed Senate Bill 1420, a bill 

that would require menu labeling state-wide and that contains a preemption clause; 

WHEREAS, on September 30, 2008, the Governor of the State of California signed into law 

Senate Bill 1420; 

WHEREAS, in light of these circumstances, Plaintiff CRA and Defendants City and County 

of San Francisco and County of Santa Clara ("Defendants") agree that the hearing on October 16, 

2008 should be continued to allow the parties an opportunity to come to agreement concerning the 

effect of the new legislation on Plaintiff’s motion for preliminary injunction; and 

WHEREAS, in order to allow for a later hearing date, Defendants are willing to further 

postpone enforcement of their ordinances (i.e., no fines or penalties will be imposed), until January 1, 

2009; 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and among Plaintiff and Defendants, 

subject to approval of the Court, that: 

1. The hearing on Plaintiff's Motions in the related actions shall take place on October 

30, 2008 at 2:00 p.m.. The hearing presently scheduled for October 16, 2008 at 2:00 

p.m. shall be vacated. If the Parties cannot reach a stipulation to resolve this case 

before October 21, 2008 and do not file such a stipulation by that date, Plaintiff will 

file its brief concerning the effect of the new legislation on Plaintiff’s motion for 

preliminary injunction by October 24, 2008 and Defendants will file their responsive 

briefs by October 27, 2008.
