STIPULATION AND ORDER RE: MOTION TO REMAND AND INITIAL CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE 

STIPULATION OF THE PARTIES

1. Plaintiffs MAURICE A. LADRECH, as Trustee on behalf of the Maurice 

A. Ladrech Revocable Living Trust, NICOLE A. LADRECH, as Trustee on behalf of the Nicole 

A. Ladrech Trust, ANDRE A. LADRECH, as Trustee on behalf of the Andre A. Ladrech Trust, 

and ERIC C. LADRECH, as Trustee on behalf of the Eric E. Ladrech Trust (collectively, 

“Plaintiffs”) filed Case No. RG 10511573 in the Superior Court of the State of California, County 

of Alameda, on April 26, 2010, against Defendants FIRST MERCURY INSURANCE 

COMPANY (“First Mercury”) and DOES 1 through 100, inclusive (hereinafter, the “State Court 

Action”). Plaintiffs and First Mercury are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties.” 

2. On May 26, 2010, First Mercury filed a Notice and Petition for Removal of 

the State Court Action under 28 U.S.C. Section 1441(b) removing the State Court Action to the 

United States District Court, Northern District of California (Case No. CV 10 2307 JCS). 

3. Plaintiffs contend that First Mercury’s removal of the State Court Action to 

the United States District Court, Northern District of California, is invalid and improper and that 

the case should be remanded to the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Alameda. 

First Mercury disputes this contention. 

4. Plaintiffs and First Mercury have agreed to participate in an early, private 

mediation in an effort to resolve the case. Although Plaintiffs and First Mercury have not yet 

agreed on a mediation date, Plaintiffs and First Mercury intend on participating in mediation 

during July 2010 or August 2010. 

5. In order to avoid litigation expense, Plaintiffs and First Mercury seek to 

extend the current deadlines, as set forth in the Case Management Order, and to extend the date 

within which Plaintiff may file a motion to remand so that the Parties can focus their efforts to 

resolve this case through mediation. 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED between the Parties, by 

and through their respective counsel, that:
