STIPULATION REGARDING CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

Date: June 11, 2007 

Time: 10:00 a.m. 

Dept. 8 

Plaintiffs 21X Capital Ltd. and David A. Brewer, and defendants Robert Werra 

and John Werra (collectively, "the Parties"), by and through their attorneys of record, file this 

stipulation in connection with a June 11, 2007 case management conference. Plaintiffs' 

counsel calendared this date with the Court's clerk, who suggested that a brief stipulation be 

filed. 

This is an alter ego action in which plaintiffs allege that defendants John and 

Robert Werra are the alter egos of RJW Acquisitions, L.C. ("RJW"). (Plaintiffs are in the 

process of dismissing defendant 20/20 Technologies, Inc. and will do so once certain 

conditions are met.) A state court judgment of approximately $1.5 million (exclusive of 

attorney's fees and costs) was rendered against RJW, and RJW then filed for bankruptcy in

the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas (Sherman Division) 

(case no. 06-40238). In light of those bankruptcy proceedings the Parties had earlier 

stipulated to stays of this action. Specifically, by stipulation and orders entered on July 25, 

2006, November 16, 2006 and February 12, 2007, this Court had approved the Parties' 

requested stays and had vacated all the dates set forth in the July 3, 2006 "order setting initial 

case management conference and ADR deadlines". The Court also took defendants' pending 

motion to dismiss or transfer venue off calendar and the matter had been stayed before an 

opposition to such motion had been filed (and, thus, before there had been a reply, a hearing 

or a ruling on such motion). 

The RJW bankruptcy matter is now winding up and the Parties agree that it is 

now appropriate for this case to move forward again. 

The Parties respectfully submit that the first order of business at the case 

management conference should be the re-setting of the pending motion to dismiss. 

Defendants have retained Keker & Van Nest as new counsel. As almost a year has passed 

since Defendants filed their motion to dismiss or transfer, new counsel would like an 

opportunity to review all circumstances that may bear on the motion and, if appropriate, file a 

fresh set of papers in support of it, updating the grounds for the motion as warranted. 

Plaintiffs believe that new counsel inherits the case as is and that a substitution should not 

necessarily justify re-doing what has gone before. Regardless of whether a new motion is 

filed or the extant motion opposed, the Parties would like to discuss various issues regarding 

the possible hearing dates. 

Furthermore, unless this is deferred to the hearing date on the motion to 

dismiss (or some other date), the Parties also believe that it may be timely to calendar and 

discuss matters relating to initial disclosures, further case management conferences and
