Plaintiff Trudy G. Hemphill and Defendants Personal Representative of the Estate of James 

J. Ryskamp, Jr., James J. Ryskamp, Jr., M.D., Inc., James J. Ryskamp, Jr., M.D., Inc. 401(k) Profit 

Sharing Plan, Ryskamp-Takayayama 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, and Judith Dickison Ryskamp, as 

an Individual and as Trustee of the James J. Ryskamp, Jr. and Judith Dickison Ryskamp Living 

Trust, hereby stipulate and agree to continue pretrial deadlines and the trial date in light of the fact 

that the Court has not yet issued its decision on Plaintiff’s pending Motion for Summary 

Adjudication (filed on October 16, 2006), which the parties believe will facilitate a negotiated 

resolution of this matter. The parties have already expended considerable resources and conducted 

extensive discovery; however, they wish to attempt to resolve this matter through mediation or 

settlement conference prior to incurring additional costs to complete discovery and prepare expert 

disclosures. The current deadlines for disclosure of experts and discovery cut-off are April 24, 

2007 and May 15, 2007, respectively. If the Court is not inclined to continue the case deadlines 

and dates as the parties have stipulated and agreed, the parties hereby request that the Court hold a 

status conference to discuss case deadlines. 

The parties have discussed the possibility of resolving this action through settlement but are 

not able to resolve the action while the Motion for Summary Adjudication remains pending. The 

parties believe that a ruling on the Motion for Summary Adjudication will better inform the parties 

of the strengths and weaknesses of their respective settlement positions and will prompt fruitful 

settlement discussions. In order to attempt resolution of this litigation through settlement without 

incurring potentially unnecessary litigation expenses, the parties stipulate and agree to continue the 

deadlines and dates for expert disclosures, supplemental expert disclosures, discovery cut-off, nondispositive motions, dispositive motions, settlement conference, pretrial conference, and trial for 

dates after the Court has decided the pending Motion for Summary Adjudication. The parties 

stipulate and agree to a continuance of the deadlines and dates as follows:
