 Plaintiffs Lawrence Celano, Richard Thesing, and William Hefferon and defendant 

Marriott International, Inc., through their attorneys of record, hereby stipulate and agree as 

follows: 

RECITALS

 1. On May 16, 2008, the Court issued a Permanent Injunction and entered 

Judgment for plaintiffs in this case. 

 2. Since that time, the parties have been actively meeting and conferring and are 

pleased to report that they have reached agreement on all of the remaining issues in the case. 

The written settlement agreement is being drafted, and we anticipate that it will be finalized 

within the next two weeks. 

 3. In order to preserve their rights in the event that unforeseen obstacles to the 

settlement are encountered, the parties believe that it is in the interests of justice to extend the 

deadline for plaintiffs to file their motion for an award of attorneys’ fees and costs one last 

time, and therefore request the Court to approve this stipulation and order that, if necessary, 

plaintiffs file their motion by September 30, 2008. 

STIPULATION

 Accordingly, the parties stipulate: (1) that the time period within which plaintiffs must 

file their motion for attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses as the prevailing party in this action 

shall be extended to September 30, 2008; and (2) that the District Court shall continue to 

retain jurisdiction for the limited purpose of ruling upon plaintiffs’ award of attorneys’ fees, 

costs and expenses in this action. 

Dated: August 15, 2008 Respectfully submitted, 

 CHAVEZ & GERTLER LLP
