2. The parties STIPULATE and AGREE that the plaintiff may file a Third

plaintiff’s Third Amended Complaint is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

GOOD CAUSE EXISTS TO MODIFY THE SCHEDULING CONFERENCE ORDER

a. Plaintiff Cynthia Soltero seeks to recover damages as the result of the 

death of her son, Vincent Matthew Yzaguirre. 

b. Decedent Vincent Matthew Yzaguirre’s father, Robert Yzaguirre, is 

alive but was not previously named as a party in this lawsuit. It is believed that Mr. 

Yzaguirre is currently incarcerated in Salinas Valley State Prison in Soledad, California.

c. Plaintiff wishes to file a Third Amended Complaint to name Mr. 

Yzaguirre as a party so that all claims arising from the death of Vincent Matthew 

Yzaguirre are fully and finally adjudicated in a single action as is contemplated by 

California Code of Civil Procedure Section 377.60. 

d. Plaintiff and defendants mediated this matter and reached a settlement 

in principal but such settlement is contingent on it being a full and final adjudication of 

all claims that could have been brought as a result of the death of Vincent Matthew 

Yzaguirre. As a result, it is necessary to name Robert Yzaguirre as a party to ensure a 

full and final adjudication of this matter.
