 ON MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT; ORDER

c. Advisement as to how the total settlement amount of $50,000 will be

allocated among the plaintiffs.

3. It is anticipated that it will take a considerable amount of time to finalize the

settlement, and the parties request a new hearing date on SHAFTER-WASCO GINNING

COMPANY, INC.’s motion for summary judgment of at least sixty (60) days beyond the

currently scheduled date of September 19, 2005, in the event that any of the settlement conditions

are not satisfied.

4. This continuance will allow the responding parties to avoid the preparation and

filing of an opposition to the motion for summary judgment as well as moving party’s reply to

the opposition, and hopefully allow the court to avoid a review and analysis of the moving and

opposing papers.

5. There is currently a stipulation being circulated among the parties to continue the

pretrial conference and trial dates to dates in early 2006.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
