-2- Stipulation Vacating Trial Dates

RECITALS

The hearing on the parties’ Cross-Motions for Summary Judgment/Partial

Summary Judgment is presently scheduled for August 10, 2007 (Dkt. 93). It was earlier

contemplated that the hearing would be heard on May 18, 2007 (Dkt. 33). However,

because of a series of events, e.g. non-expert discovery was to be completed by January

31, 2007, and was not actually completed until approximately February 28, 2007; the

COUNTY retained co-counsel (Notice filed April 12, 2007, Dkt. 59) and Mediation

originally to be completed by February 28, 2007, was not completed until May 5, 2007

(Mediator’s Notice to Court; Dkt. entry following 63); the litigation has not proceeded

as contemplated.

In addition, the Cross-Motions involve complex legal procedures and a significant

volume of evidentiary documents have been filed. In the experience of counsel in similar

cases, the Court commonly takes several months from the date hearing to render its

decision. Cases are often resolved by the Court’s decision on such motions. Further,

it may be necessary to file an addition motion forsummary judgment and/or a motion for

reconsideration or clarification after the Court’s decision on the present motions is

rendered.

If a trial is needed, the parties have agreed to request the Court to sever the issues

of liability from damages. This contemplates that Expert Witnesses need not be retained

presently and Discovery would be held in abeyance, until the issue of liability has been

completed. Relying on said agreement, COUNTY has not designated expert witnesses.

By reason of the foregoing, the partes respectfully request that the remaining dates on

the Court’s Order on Case Management Conference be vacated and that the Court either

order the parties to file a new Joint Case Management Conference Statement or order a

continued Case Management Conference to be scheduled after the Court issues its

Order(s) on the pending Motions.

STIPULATION

Based on the foregoing, it is hereby stipulated by Gary S. Mobley, attorney for
