v.

VALLEY FARM TRANSPORT, INC., a

California Corporation,

Defendants.

SUBJECT TO APPROVAL OF THIS COURT, Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court

continue the Case Management Conference (CMC) currently set for September 14,2007 to

November 9,2007, or sometime thereafter. Plaintiffs contend there is good cause for this request as

follows. The CMC was originally set for September 14,2007, as the parties had a deadline to

conduct mediation in this matter by that time. The parties have begun and continue to take part in the

mediation process. The parties met for their first day of mediation on August 28, 2007. At that time,

the parties verbally stipulated to continue the CMC until after the completion of the mediation

process. Currently, the parties are scheduled to meet again for a second day of mediation on October

5, 2007.

On September 12,2007, Plaintiffs' counsel contacted the court clerk regarding the parties'

request to reschedule the date of the CMC. The clerk indicated that the CMC scheduled for

September 14,2007 would be continued until November 9, 2007.

Plaintiffs prepared a formal stipulation to fied with the Court. Plaintiffs, however, were

unable to reach Defendant's counsel to secure a signature on the formal stipulation and, as such, have

not yet fied said stipulation. Plaintiffs' counsel represents that Defendant's counsel have agreed to

continue the CMC to a date after the parties' next scheduled mediation session set for October 5,

2007.

Plaintiffs' counsel wil file its formal stipulation with the Cour once it successfully reaches

Defendant's counsel and Defendant's counsel expresses its approval to do so.

Accordingly, Plaintiffs seek continuance of the CMC to November 9,2007, or another date

after the paries have concluded mediation, in case the parties fail to reach a settlement through the

mediation process.

The request for continuance is not brought for any improper purpose nor should any party be

prejudiced by the continuance.
