STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER CASE NO. C06-02909 SBA 

Whereas the parties have attempted to agree on the terms of a Settlement Agreement and 

Release, 

Whereas the Parties to this action are still in the process of drafting a Settlement 

Agreement. In this process several drafts have been exchanged between Plaintiff and Defendant 

allowing each an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed Settlement Agreement and 

Release. However, to date the final agreeable language of the Settlement Agreement and Release 

have not been finalized. 

Whereas Plaintiff’s counsel will be out of the office on October 16, 2007, and thus will not 

be able to review any proposed changes with their client, 

Whereas Plaintiff seeks to preserve its right to reopen the case in the event the parties are 

unable to agree upon the terms of the Settlement Agreement and Release, 

The parties therefore stipulate to extend the time to file a motion to reopen the case that 

was dismissed by the Court on October 2, 2007, for a period of four calendar days to afford the 

necessary time to complete the settlement documentation. Any motion to reopen the case must be 

filed by October 19, 2007. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
