Complaint on file herein. According to defense counsel, the Town Council is considering its 

options and plan for defense as well as prosecution of the counterclaim against Plaintiff; is trying 

to secure other coverage; and would like to participate in a VDRP session with the attorney 

assigned, Daniel McVeigh of Downey Brand. Defense counsel is currently unaware as to whether 

the Town will continue to retain her firm or seek other representation. 

At a conference call with the VDRP neutral, Dan McVeigh, on December 2, 2019, it was 

agreed the parties would stipulate to request the Court extend the deadline for the VDRP session 

for 90 days from January 20, 2020 to April 20, 2020, in anticipation of the Town being able to 

participate in productive discussions about possible resolution by or before that time. Neither Mr. 

McVeigh, nor Sujean Park Castelhano, ADR Program Director, have any objection to the 

extension of time. 

There are no other pending deadlines in the case. 

Accordingly, the parties hereto, through their respective attorneys, request the Court extend 

the deadline for holding a VDRP session to April 20, 2020.
