 Counterclaimants FREDRICK HODGSON and LINDA HODGSON; Counterdefendants 

EAST BAY INVESTORS, LLC, FERRARI INVESTMENT, LLC, DAVID J. FERRARI and 

ROBERT FERRARI; Counterdefendants JOHN C. ROGERS, JOHN C. ROGERS, P.C., and 

INCLINE LAW GROUP, LLP; and Counterdefendant FIDELITY NATIONAL TITLE 

COMPANY hereby stipulate as follows: 

 1. The Court’s Minute Order, entered on April 1, 2016 as Docket No. 210, ordered 

that Dispositional documents relating to Counterclaimants’ First Amended Counterclaim shall be 

filed within 45 days of the Minute Order (i.e., May 16, 2016). 

 2. Counterclaimants and all remaining Counterdefendants have reached an overall 

settlement to resolve Counterclaimants’ First Amended Counterclaim in its entirety. The final 

form of that Settlement Agreement has been circulated to counsel for final approval and 

execution. As to all Counterdefendants other than FIDELITY NATIONAL TITLE COMPANY, 

that settlement is contingent upon a finding of good faith under California Code of Civil

working together to draft and file a Joint Motion for Determination of Good Faith Settlement and 

Order Barring Indemnity claims. Once filed, this Motion needs to be heard and ruled upon prior 

to the final disposition of this case. 

 4. The website for Judge Kimberly J. Mueller shows available Civil Law and 

Motion Dates of May 6, May 18, June 3 and June 17, and various dates thereafter. In order to be 

able to timely serve this Motion, it would have to be heard on May 18, 2016, two days after the 

May 16 deadline for parties to file Dispositional documents. 

 5. The parties have agreed to extend the deadline for filing Dispositional documents 

related to Counterclaimants’ First Amended Counterclaim by an additional two weeks, to and 

including May 30, 2016, to allow sufficient time for Counterdefendants to file, serve and have
