STIPULATION GRANTING DEFENDANTS CHANNEL STAR EXCURSIONS, INC. AND BRIAN GERHART 

LEAVE TO FILE A CROSS-COMPLAINT AGAINST THE CITY OF SACRAMENTO

Case No. 2:05-CV-01737-MCE-PAN; Our File No. 8001.31 - 2 -

Leave is appropriate, because when DEFENDANTS initially appeared in this matter they

had not yet made a claim against the City of Sacramento who owned the dock where the incident

occurred. After further investigation, DEFENDANTS made a claim under the California

Government Code seeking indemnity from the City. The claim was rejected on March 10, 2006,

giving DEFENDANTS until September 10, 2006 to file a cross-complaint. DEFENDANTS now

wish to move forward with the cross-complaint. A true and correct copy of the proposed crosscomplaint is attached hereto as Exhibit “A.”

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
