STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER RE: 

MOTION FOR JUDGMENT ON THE PLEADINGS 

C-06-00497-MMC-JL

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Plaintiffs Richard Smith and Rebecca 

Klein, and Defendant Ford Motor Company (“Ford”), as follows: 

WHEREAS, in the Further Joint Case Management Statement prepared for the December 

1, 2006 case management conference and during that case management conference, Ford 

indicated that it was planning to file a motion for judgment on the pleadings under Fed. R. Civ. P. 

12(c) based in part on the California Court of Appeal’s decision in Daugherty v. American Honda 

Motor Co., 144 Cal. App. 4th 824 (2006); 

WHEREAS, the California Supreme Court has denied the petition for review and the 

request for de-publication of that decision; 

WHEREAS, the parties wish to stipulate to a briefing and hearing schedule for Ford’s 

motion for judgment on the pleadings (“Ford’s 12(c) Motion”); 

WHEREAS, the parties believe it is appropriate to defer the further case management 

conference scheduled for March 16, 2007 until after the Court rules on Ford’s 12(c) Motion; 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby stipulate and request as follows: 

1. The briefing and hearing schedule on Ford’s 12(c) Motion shall be as follows: (a) 

Ford’s 12(c) Motion shall be filed no later than March 2, 2007; (b) Plaintiffs’ 

opposition papers shall be filed no later than March 30, 2007; (c) Ford’s reply 

papers shall be filed no later than April 13, 2007; and (d) subject to the Court’s 

calendar, any hearing on Ford’s 12(c) Motion shall occur on April 27, 2007 at 9:00 

a.m. 

2. The case management conference presently scheduled for March 16, 2007 is 

vacated, and a further case management conference shall, if necessary, be 

scheduled after the Court rules on Ford’s 12(c) Motion. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
