STIPULATION RE SCHEDULE FOR PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT OR PARTIAL

SUMMARY JUDGMENT/SUMMARY ADJUDICATION; PROPOSED ORDER

TO THE COURT AND ALL RESPECTIVE PARTIES OF RECORD HEREIN:

The two original parties in this case, Pacific Merchant Shipping Association

(“PMSA”) and Catherine Witherspoon previously advised the Court by their initial

and supplement Joint Scheduling Conference Reports that they were desirous of an

early resolution of the legal issues that are presented by the Complaint and Answer,

and that counsel believed that these are amenable to decision on early cross-motions

for Judgment on the Pleadings or Summary Judgment/Summary Adjudication (“Early

Dispositive Motions”) before discovery. After substantial good faith efforts, counsel

were unable to reach agreement on undisputed facts in order to allow a quick

resolution of some of the issues involved in this case by Early Dispositive Motions.

The procedure and schedule for such motions in the earlier Joint Scheduling Reports

does not, therefore, apply, as reflected by the Court’s Status (Pretrial Scheduling)

Order, dated April 26, 2007. Plaintiff, however, intends to proceed with a motion for

summary judgment or partial summary judgment/summary adjudication with respect

to the First and Second Claims For Relief stated in its Complaint.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED therefore, by and between the parties, through

their counsel of record, subject to court order, plaintiff’s motion will be subject to the

following schedule for plaintiff’s motion,:

A. May 7, 2007---Last day for plaintiff to file and serve its motion and

supporting documents and pleadings;
