Plaintiff County of Stanislaus (“County”) and Defendant Travelers 

Indemnity Company (“Travelers”), collectively referred to as the “Parties”, by 

and through their respective undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate and agree as 

follows:

WHEREAS, a jury trial was scheduled for October 25, 2016; 

WHEREAS, at the September 6, 2016 further pre-trial conference, the 

Parties agreed to stipulate to the waiver a jury for the first phase of trial as set 

forth below; and

WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed that the October 25, 2016 trial date 

will be a bench trial as set forth below.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by the Parties, and 

subject to the Court’s approval, that:

1. The bench trial shall determine whether the County’s non-legal 

invoices, incurred after January 31, 2012 to April 22, 2016, submitted 

by the County to Travelers constitute defense costs under Insurance 

Company of Pacific Coast Policy No. PS 568 37 41 (10/13/72-

10/13/75). 

2. The Parties agree to waive the right to a jury on the issue described in 

Stipulation No. 1, above.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
