WHEREAS, Defendants Cypress Amloc Land Company, Inc. (CALCO), Cypress Abbey

Company, Amloc Companies, Inc., Jeff Terry, Thomas Atwood, and Plaintiff San Bruno Mountain

Watch (SBMW) (collectively, "the Parties") wish to avoid any unnecessary expense associated with

retention and disclosure of expert witnesses, including the significant expenses associated with

expert discovery and testimony;

WHEREAS, the Parties wish to avoid imposing any unnecessary burden on the Court and on

any jury that may be impaneled in this action;

WHEREAS, this case is currently set for trial on June 12, 2006;

WHEREAS, the parties conducted meet-and-confer discussions in accordance with the

November 18, 2005 Court order;

WHEREAS, during the parties' discussion regarding production of further response to

requests for financial documents, the parties reached an agreement to pursue a stipulation which

may render unnecessary the need for both Plaintiff and Defendants to designate expert witnesses for

economic issues for the liability phase of trial;

WHEREAS, if the parties can reach such an agreement, the liability phase of trial will be

shorter and have fewer disputed issues;

WHEREAS, the Parties also need additional time to resolve informally the outstanding

discovery issues associated with the Court's ruling on plaintiff's motion to compel, and allowing time

for such a resolution will reduce the expenses and burden on the parties and the Court by eliminating

the need for formal motion practice;

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby stipulated and agreed that the parties shall attempt to enter

into a stipulation that would obviate the need for economic experts for the liability phase of the trial,

as well as the need for further discovery during the liability phase of the trial on the financial

resources of the defendants and the costs of certain storm water management measures;

FURTHER, the parties hereby stipulate and agree to stay Defendants' obligations to provide

further responses to Requests for Production of Documents to CALCO numbers 34 through 38 while

the parties are negotiating the terms of the stipulation referred to in the preceding paragraph and such

stay shall terminate when any party informs the opposing party(ies) that negotiations should

terminate or the stipulation is entered into, whichever comes first;

FURTHER, the parties hereby stipulate and agree that a further Case Management

Conference is needed in January to advise the Court of the parties' progress on various agreements

and stipulations, as well as to discuss issues of trial structure, and the parties suggest a conference on

January 18, 2006;

FURTHER, the parties hereby stipulate and agree, and request that the Court order, that the

 following discovery deadlines, pretrial conference, and trial date each be extended as follows:
