Plaintiff FRANK WILLIAMS and Defendant CDG MANAGEMENT, L.L.C. 

(erroneously sued as CIVIC DEVELOPMENT GROUP), by and through their attorneys of record, 

hereby stipulate and agree as follows: 

1. Plaintiff FRANK WILLIAMS filed a Motion to Remand this lawsuit to the 

Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Sacramento on April 7, 2006; 

2. Defendant CDG MANAGEMENT, L.L.C. does not oppose remand of this 

case because, after review and consideration of Plaintiff’s arguments in the Motion to Remand, 

diversity jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. section 1332(a) is not appropriate in this case; 

3. Plaintiff FRANK WILLIAMS withdraws his request for attorney’s fees and 

costs in connection with his Motion to Remand, but does not waive his right to seek such attorney’s 

fees and costs at the conclusion of the lawsuit if Plaintiff is determined to be the prevailing party; 

4. Based on the foregoing, the parties stipulate and agree that this case shall be 

remanded from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California to the Superior 

Court of the State of California in and for the County of Sacramento. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
