CONTINUING CASE MGMT. CONF. 2. Case No. C07 1696 CW

Plaintiffs GIL CROSTHWAITE, RUSS BURNS, in their respective capacities as 

Trustees of the OPERATING ENGINEERS HEALTH AND WELFARE TRUST FUND FOR

business in California as EL DORADO DISPOSAL SERVICE (“Defendant”), through their 

respective counsel, hereby stipulate to and request that the Court order that the Initial Case

1. Pursuant to the Court’s Order Granting Plaintiffs’ Request for Continuance of 

Case Management Conference, the initial Case Management Conference in this action, originally 

scheduled for August 7, 2007, was rescheduled October 9, 2007 at 2:00 p.m. 

2. Since the issuance of the Court’s Order, the parties have initiated settlement 

discussions and have exchanged information relevant to the issues in the case, but have not 

completed their discussions. 

3. The parties wish to continue to explore a possible resolution of this action 

without the necessity of further litigation time and expense. 

4. As noted above, there has been one previous continuation of the Initial Case 

Management Conference and related case management activities. 

5. The parties expect that the requested extension of the date for the initial Case 

Management Conference will have no adverse effect on the schedule for the case. No trial date or 

other deadlines have yet been set. The requested extension may facilitate the resolution of the 

parties’ dispute, and will at a minimum enable the parties to exchange additional information about 

their respective positions that may streamline case management. 

Therefore, Plaintiffs and Defendants, through their respective counsel, stipulate and 

agree as follows: 

1. The Initial Case Management Conference date of October 9, 2007 and related 

deadlines are vacated. 

2. The Initial Case Management Conference date is extended to December 11,
