Case No. 3:13-cv-01457-JCS

STIPULATION TO CONTINUE

MEDIATION DEADLINE PURSUANT

TO CIVIL LOCAL RULE 6-2(A)

Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 6-2 and 7-12, the parties now file a joint stipulated request

for an extension of this Court’s deadline to complete mediation of this action. The parties

stipulate to complete mediation by March 31, 2013.

After conferring with the assigned court-appointed mediator, it has become apparent that

mediation at this time would not result in a resolution of this matter, due to uncertainty in the

status of the pleadings and the vast differences in Plaintiffs’ and Defendants’ settlement positions.

Rule 6-2 Stipulation

To avoid fruitless use of the court-appointed mediator’s time, Defendants Wells Fargo Bank,

N.A., Bank of America, N.A., and First American Trustee requested to continue the mediation to a

date after their next motion to dismiss could be heard by this Court, when they could make a more

informed decision as to the settlement value of the case. Plaintiffs do not object to defendant’s

request, and has entered into this stipulation. The next motion to dismiss is scheduled for

February 2014. The parties and the mediator have reserved space for a mediation, which will

occur on March 17, 2014, a date mutually agreeable to all parties. The parties wish to continue

their mediation deadline to March 31, 2013 in order to accommodate any last-minute scheduling

issues that could interfere with the planned March 17th mediation. Plaintiffs do not oppose this

continuance and join in this stipulation. L.R. 6-2(a)(1).

While Plaintiffs and Defendants have entered into several stipulations to extend response

times to pleadings and motions in order to mutually accommodate each other’s schedules, this is

the first stipulation to continue mediation. L.R. 6-2(a)(2).

This change will not have any effect on the schedule of this case. L.R. 6-2(a)(2). The

litigation and motion schedule for this case will be unaffected by a change in the mediation date,

especially since a mediation completed by the original deadline of December 31, 2013 would not

have resulted in a settlement. The parties wish to extend time to complete mediation due to their

desire to use their court-appointed mediator’s time in the most efficient way possible, and to

maximize the chances of settling this matter.
