Pursuant to Local Rule 6-2, Defendant MARKEL INSURANCE COMPANY (“Markel”) 

and Plaintiffs CITI APARTMENTS, INC.; PRIME APARTMENT PROPERTIES, LLC; 

PRIME PROPERTIES I, LLC; RMSV BAY CITI PROPERTIES I DE, LLC; RMSV BAY CITI 

PROPERTIES I, LLC; 124 MASON, DE, LLC; TROPHY PROPERTIES, VI, LLC; LRL CITI 

PROPERTIES I DE, LLC, et al.; and FRANK LEMBI; WALTER LEMBI; ANDREW J. 

HAWKINS (“Plaintiffs”), by and through their respective attorneys of record hereby request and 

stipulate to a continuance of the Case Management Conference (“CMC”) presently sent for 

hearing on Thursday, October 11, 2007 (in conjunction with a Motion to Dismiss the first 

amended complaint) to Tuesday, October 23, 2007. The CMC needs to be rescheduled because 

the Motion to Dismiss has been withdrawn, and stand-alone CMC's are not heard on Thursdays. 

Markel is represented by Susan E. Firtch of Burnham | Brown. Plaintiffs are represented by Guy 

O. Kornblum of Kornblum & Associates. 

The request and stipulation are based on the following grounds. 

1. In its June 11, 2007 order granting Markel’s motion for summary judgment and 

Plaintiffs’ motion for leave to file a first amended complaint to bring new claims, the Court set 

the hearing date for any motion to dismiss that Markel might file, and a Case Management 

Conference (“CMC”), for August 23, 2007 at 2:00 p.m. The date was subsequently continued 

by stipulation and order to October 11, 2007. 

2. The Parties have reached a settlement, including the withdrawal of Markel’s 

motion to dismiss, and the eventual dismissal of Plaintiffs’ first amended complaint. 

3. Markel has withdrawn its motion, and, at the time of the filing of this stipulation, 

the parties are still in the process of executing an agreed-upon the written settlement agreement. 

4. The parties need to participate in the scheduled CMC to resolve final issues, and 

effect the entry of final judgment on Markel’s prior motion for summary judgment and dismissal 

of the first amended complaint. However, the CMC presently on calendar for Thursday, October 

11, 2007, has now become a stand-alone CMC, and needs to be continued to a Tuesday because 

the Court does not hear stand-alone CMC’s on Thursdays.

PURSUANT TO THE PARTIES’ STIPULATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 

Because Markel’s motion to dismiss has been taken off of the Thursday October 11, 

calendar, the Case Management conference previously set to be heard concurrently with that 

motion, is now continued to Tuesday, October 23, 2007 at 2:00 p.m. The joint case management 

conference statement is to be filed no later than Tuesday October 16, 2007. 

DATED: 9/27/07
