STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING TRIAL

CASE NO. 2:05-CV-00387-FCD-DAD

G:\DOCS\FCD\orders to be signed\GARRETT - VALLEJO Stip and Order re contining trial.wpd -2-

All parties to this action stipulate and agree, by and through their respective counsel, as

follows:

1. The court scheduled trial in this matter to commence January 29, 2007. The pretrial

conference in this matter was completed and the court has filed and served its pretrial conference

order. 

2. The parties participated in a settlement conference with Hon. Judge Morrison

Englund on October 12, 2007. The case did not settle at that time. Defendant’s counsel did not seek

a continuance of the trial date prior to the settlement conference in that settlement of the case would

have rendered the requested continuance moot.

3. Trial counsel for defendant, Mark A. Jones, has a conflict with the presently

scheduled trial date due to a previous personal family commitment out of state. Defendant’s trial

counsel would be unable to participate in trial given the prior personal commitment, and the parties

have agreed that a brief continuance of the trial date is appropriate. 

Accordingly, the parties request that the court vacate the trial date set for January 29, 2007 at

9:00 a.m. and re-set the trial for April 15, 2007 at 9:00 a.m. before Judge Frank C. Damrell, Jr.
