attorneys of record, Atkinson, Andelson, Loya, Ruud & Romo, by Thomas W. Kovacich; and 

third party COMERICA BANK (the “Comerica”) as follows: 

1. Plaintiffs filed a Complaint on November 5, 2004 for breach of an alleged 

collective bargaining agreement between S.J. Weaver Contracting, Inc. (“SJW”) and the 

Northern District Council of Laborers (the “Union”). The Complaint also sought damages 

against Mr. Weaver, alleging that he and SJW constituted a “single employer” and was therefore 

also bound to the terms and conditions of the collective bargaining agreement. 

2. On May 10, 2005, SJW filed a voluntary petition seeking federal bankruptcy 

protection. 

3. On May 13, 2005, SJW gave notice to the Court and Plaintiffs of the bankruptcy 

petition. 

4. On June 3, 2005, the Court granted Mr. Weaver’s Motion to Set Aside Default 

Judgment. 

5. Plaintiffs still seek to enforce the terms and conditions of the collective bargaining 

agreement against Mr. Weaver. 

6. On June 17, 2005, Mr. Weaver filed his Answer to the Complaint denying 

Plaintiffs various allegations and raising additional affirmative defenses. 

7. Plaintiffs served the Custodian of Records of Comerica with a third party 

Subpoena in a Civil Case in the instant lawsuit on or about August 25, 2005 (the “Subpoena”), 

seeking certain information concerning Mr. Weaver and SJW. 

8. Comerica and Mr. Weaver contend, inter alia, that the records requested by the 

Plaintiffs contain SJW’s and Mr. Weaver’s private, confidential, proprietary and trade secret 

information. Comerica further contends that the records requested by the Plaintiffs contain 

Comerica’s proprietary and trade secret information. Subject to objections to the Subpoena 

served by Comerica on Plaintiffs, Comerica is willing to make certain responsive documents 

available for Plaintiffs to review and copy in accordance with the terms of this Stipulation.

9. Plaintiffs have therefore agreed that the documents produced by Comerica shall 

be produced and used expressly for the purposes of determining whether Plaintiffs have a viable 

claim against Mr. Weaver in the instant lawsuit. Plaintiffs agree that they will not utilize the 

information for any other purposes or outside of this litigation. Plaintiffs also agree that they 

will not cause any information from these records to be distributed to any parties other than 

Plaintiffs’ counsel. 

10. Within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of this lawsuit, counsel for the Trust 

Funds shall promptly return to Comerica all documents and copies produced pursuant to this 

stipulation.
