.D. of CA Case No. C-08-03490 MHP

PLAINTIFFS CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO, BY AND THROUGH ITS PORT 

COMMISSION, AND PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA (“Plaintiffs”) and 

DEFENDANTS EXXONMOBIL OIL CORPORATION (“ExxonMobil”) previously jointly 

requested and obtained from this Court an Order for Stay of Litigation, to enable them to carry 

out an agreement reached at a Court-ordered mediation in April 2009. Under the agreement, the 

parties are working collaboratively on environmental investigation measures to address the 

conditions at the property located at 440 Jefferson Street (the “Site”), which is the subject of this 

litigation. On May 4, 2009, this Court stayed the litigation and set a further Case Management 

Conference for September 21, 2009. On September 15, 2009, at the parties' joint request, this 

Court extended the stay to January 11, 2010, and set a further Case Management Conference for 

that date. 

 The environmental investigation agreed upon by the parties is underway. In furtherance 

of those efforts, a corrective action plan is expected to be submitted to the California Regional 

Water Quality Control Board ("the Regional Board") in mid-January 2010. Thus, the parties 

continue their efforts to work collaboratively, and with the Regional Board, to develop and 

implement remedial action for the Site. 

 To this end, the parties stipulate to and respectfully request the Court to further extend the 

stay of this litigation and to continue the Case Management Conference from January 11 to 

March 15, 2010, or as soon thereafter as the Court's schedule permits.
