Case No. C 04 5368 SI

STIPULATION AND ORDER SETTING

NEW TRIAL DATE

The parties hereto, by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate and agree

as follows:

1. On July 19, 2006, this Court entered an Order Adjusting Trial Schedule (“Order”).

Under the Order, the new trial date was set for June 11, 2007.

2. Upon receipt of the Order, lead counsel for defendant advised counsel for plaintiffs

that the new trial date would conflict with his son’s high school graduation and

requested that plaintiffs’ counsel agree to a short continuance of the trial date.

3. Plaintiffs’ counsel advised defendant’s counsel that they would not object to the

requested short continuance.

4. In a Joint Case Management Statement filed on July 21, 2006, the parties noted “The

new date presents a personal conflict for MDL’s counsel, who would like the trial

date set on June 18, 2007 or June 25, 2007. Based on the circumstances as explained

by MDL’s counsel, Plaintiffs’ counsel does not object to MDL’s counsel’s request.”

5. Counsel appeared in this Court on July 28

th

for a hearing on defendant’s motion to

dismiss plaintiffs’ Third Amended Complaint. At the conclusion of the hearing on

the motion, counsel and the Court discussed case management issues, including

defendant’s request for a new trial date. Plaintiffs’ counsel confirmed their nonobjection to defendant’s request, and the Court indicated that it would move the trial

date, subject to confirmation of its trial schedule. In addition, the Court noted that the

regular courtroom clerk, Tracy Sutton, was away and that, if the new trial date was

not reflected in the minute order, counsel should contact Ms. Sutton.

6. On July 31, 2006, the Court issued its Civil Pretrial Minutes following the July 28

th

appearance. The minutes do not reflect the agreement to continue the trial date, or set

forth a new trial date.

7. On August 9

th

, counsel for defendant spoke to Ms. Sutton. Ms. Sutton recommended

that, since neither the Civil Pretrial Minutes nor the notes from the July 28

th

appearance made any reference to the agreement to continue the trial date, counsel

should prepare the present Stipulation and Order Setting New Trial Date. Ms. Sutton

also confirmed that June 25, 2007 is presently open on the Court’s trial calendar.

Based on the foregoing, the Court hereby orders that the trial date in the present action

shall be, and hereby is, continued to June 25, 2007. All other pretrial dates shall remain the

same.
