 On March 11, 2010, the parties conducted a VDRP mediation session under Civil Local 

Rule 271. Through this mediation session, the parties tentatively reached a global agreement 

potentially disposing of all the claims asserted in this action. The parties are currently engaged 

in preparing the necessary documents to finalize the agreement. 

On March 29, 2010, this Court issued its order upon stipulation of the parties (the “March 

29 Order”) which set April 14, 2010 as the deadline to file documents disposing of the within 

action and set numerous other deadlines pertaining to this action. 

On April 13, 2010, insurance carriers to defendants Edward A. Anselmo, deceased; 

Albert A. Anselmo, deceased; Rosalie Anselmo; Eleanor Anselmo; Dave and Linda Davelaar 

(collectively the “Anselmo Parties”) advised through counsel that said insurance carriers 

objected to the proposed settlement. 

On April 13, 2010, counsel for the settling parties were advised as to these objections. 

After discussions between counsel there is mutual agreement to continue to pursue potential 

settlement, and counsel for the Anselmo Parties has agreed to attempt to resolve the concerns of 

the Anselmo Parties’ insurance carriers. 

In order to do so, there was mutual recognition that additional time for the settlement 

process would be necessary and that the March 29 Order shall be accordingly revised as set forth 

below. 

NOW, THEREFORE, COUNSEL FOR THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE AND 

 AGREE, through their counsel of record, that: 

 1. The deadline to file documents disposing of this action presently set for April 14, 

2010, shall be extended to April 28, 2010. 

 2. In the event the parties fail to completely dispose of this action by April 28, 2010, 

the deadline for Goss-Jewett to complete discovery permitted by the Court’s February 17, 2010 

order, shall be extended to May 28, 2010. 

 3. Similarly, to further support its motions for summary judgment, Bayer’s deadline 

to file and serve amended memoranda and any supporting evidence, addressing the further 

discovery, shall be extended to no later than June 21, 2010, in response to which Goss-Jewett,
