SAN JOSE DIVISION 

21X CAPITAL LTD.; DAVID A. 

BREWER, 

Plaintiffs, 

vs. 

ROBERT WERRA; JOHN WERRA; 20/20 

TECHNOLOGIES, INC. and DOES 1-50, 

inclusive, 

Defendants. 

Case No. C06-04135 JW (HRL) 

STIPULATED REQUEST FOR 

FURTHER ORDER STAYING ACTION; 

ORDER THEREON 

Plaintiffs 21X Capital Ltd. and David A. Brewer, and defendants Robert 

Werra, John Werra, and 20/20 Technologies (collectively, "the Parties"), by and through their 

attorneys of record, respectfully request that the Court approve the following stipulation 

further staying this action. 

This is an alter ego action in which plaintiffs allege that defendants are the alter 

egos of RJW Acquisitions, L.C. ("RJW"). RJW has filed for bankruptcy in the United States 

Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas (Sherman Division) (case no. 06-40238) 

and is the subject of ongoing bankruptcy proceedings in that court. In light of those 

bankruptcy proceedings, the Parties have earlier stipulated to stays of this action. 

Specifically, by stipulation and order entered on July 25, 2006, this Court approved the

Parties' request for a stay through November 1, 2006, vacated the dates set forth in the July 3, 

2006 "order setting initial case management conference and ADR deadlines" (including but 

not limited to the dates for the initial disclosures and the initial case management conference) 

and took defendants' pending motion to dismiss or transfer venue off calendar (without 

waiver of defendants' right to re-set such motion following the lifting of the stay). By further 

stipulation and order entered on November 16, 2006 the Court stayed this action further 

through February 1, 2007. 

The RJW bankruptcy matter is still pending before the Bankruptcy Court in 

Texas and there are various other related collateral actions. For example, plaintiff 21X has 

filed an adversary complaint for turn-over in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the 

Northern District of California (case number 04-31311-TEC11; adversary proceeding no. 06-

03189) and the RJW trustee in bankruptcy has filed an adversary action against 21X Capital 

Ltd. and others in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas. In 

addition, on April 13, 2007 the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of 

Texas will hear a motion with respect to an alleged violation of the bankruptcy stay (the 

trustee of RJW's estate contends that the estate owns certain of the alter ego claims pursued 

by plaintiffs in this action). 

In light of these pending motions, the Parties hereby stipulate that this action be 

stayed until May 1, 2007, subject to the right of any party to terminate the stay upon five (5) 

court days' written notice. Such written notice shall be provided both to the Court and to all 

counsel of record. Once the stay is lifted, defendants' pending motion to dismiss or transfer 

shall be re-set and the Parties shall attend a status conference on a date to be set by the Court 

to discuss the date for initial disclosures, ADR compliance and options, and other trial setting 

activities.

The Parties agree that it will promote judicial efficiency, and is in the interests 

of the Parties, if this action is stayed until the further activities in and related to RJW's 

bankruptcy case take place. 

The Parties respectfully request that the Court approve the forgoing stipulation 

and that the Court enter this stipulation as an order. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
