THIRD STIPULATION TO EXTEND TIME TO RESPOND TO COUNTER AND CROSS-CLAIMS; ORDER

 The deadline for Plaintiffs to respond to the Counter and Cross-Claims filed by Century 

Indemnity Company, as successor to CCI Insurance Company, as successor to Insurance 

Company of North America, as alleged insurer of The Estate of Ronald G. Armstrong, Deceased, 

pursuant to California Probate Code section 550 et seq., (“Century”), shall be extended from 

January 25, 2013, up to and including April 30, 2013. The extension provided for by this 

Stipulation may be terminated by any party to this Stipulation by service of written notice of 

termination served by hand delivery, email, or facsimile. If the extension provided for by this 

Stipulation is so terminated, the deadline for Plaintiffs to respond to the Counter and CrossClaims filed by Century shall be 20 days after the date of delivery of the notice of termination. 

The parties hereto previously stipulated to two prior extensions from November 30, 2012 to 

December 28, 2012, and from December 28, 2012 to January 25, 2013. Good cause exists for the 

requested extension. Several parties to this action, including but not limited to the parties to this 

stipulation, are engaged in settlement discussions, have participated in a full day of mediation 

before Robert Kaplan of Judicate West, and have agreed to continue the mediation to a mutually 

acceptable date in the future. The parties are hopeful that the continued mediation will take place 

in late March or April 2013, and are working to coordinate and schedule this continued 

mediation. Based on the status of the parties settlement discussions and mediation, as well as 

other factors, the parties are meeting and conferring about the possibility of filing a joint motion 

seeking a further brief stay of the litigation. The requested extension would allow the parties to 

conserve their limited resources while these settlement discussions and mediation are ongoing.
