Zumpft, hereby submit their request to stay this litigation and allow the parties to pursue 

amicable settlement discussions, and hereby stipulate as follows:

A. The time frame within which the parties propose the settlement negotiations will be 

completed by is January 30, 2014 or any appropriate date set by this Court.

B. The Camp Rich Defendants and Plaintiffs have agreed to commence discussions on the 

earliest date all parties are available: November 1, 2013. A second meeting to include El

Dorado County is in the process of being scheduled at the earliest available date in late 

November 2013.

C. The Camp Rich Defendants and Plaintiffs hereby agree to defer formal service of the 

Summons and Complaint until thirty days after expiration of the stay of litigation entered into 

by way of this Stipulation. The parties further agree that upon Plaintiffs receipt of a written 

indemnity agreement, including confirmation that any and all actions and omissions by Mr. 

Knox will be assumed by Camp Richardson Resort, LLC., Plaintiffs will dismiss Mr. Knox 

from the instant lawsuit with prejudice. It is agreed that participation in this Stipulation does not 

constitute an appearance for any purpose.

D. The parties herein agree to a stay of all discovery. The parties also agree that during the 

discovery stay, either party may informally request documents from the other party, and the 

parties agree to meet and confer in response to any such informal request in an attempt to reach 

a resolution. 

C. Plaintiff’s counsel has discussed with the remaining Defendants consent to stay 

litigation to pursue a global resolution and discussions are continuing. Caltrans was recently 

served and is in the process of ascertaining counsel assigned to this matter. The US Forest 

Service and Ms. Nancy Gibson were recently personally served, and prefer to wait until closer 

to their October deadline to file a responsive pleading before agreeing to a formal stay. They 

are committed to participate in the Nov. 1, 2013 meeting. Finally, Caltrans legal representatives 

are aware of the Nov. 1, 2013 date, and late November date in process of being scheduled.
