IT IS ADJUDGED THAT:

1. Plaintiff WRI Golden State, LLC, is awarded a declaratory judgment against

Save Mart Supermarkets, d/b/a Food Maxx (“Save Mart”). Specifically, the Court declares

that Save Mart has fully exercised any and all approval rights with respect to the building

alterations proposed for the Wal-Mart store in the Stony Point Plaza Shopping Center

located at Stony Point Road and California State Highway 12 in Santa Rosa, California. 

The Court finds that on November 20, 2003, Save Mart approved in writing the exterior

design, color, elevation, site and building alterations in connection with the proposed WalMart store and that WRI’s acceptance of Save Mart’s consent on January 20, 2004

constitutes an agreement and the approval of Save Mart with respect to the exterior

design, color, elevation, site and building alterations in connection with the proposed WalMart store. In addition, the Court declares that Save Mart has approved or is deemed to

have approved minor modifications to the Wal-Mart store front required by the City of

Santa Rosa, which modifications were sent by WRI to Save Mart on or about August 30,

2006.

2. Save Mart’s counterclaim for declaratory relief is dismissed without prejudice,

because it does not present a genuine case or controversy.

3. Plaintiff WRI shall recover its costs of suit on the complaint, pursuant to Rule

54(d) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Plaintiff WRI is, however, not entitled to its

costs of suit on the counterclaim. See Miles v. State of California, 320 F. 3d 986, 988 (9th

Cir. 2003).

4. Any motion for attorneys’ fees shall be filed in accordance with Rule 54 of the

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Local Rule 54-6.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 31, 2008
