Eureka, CA 95502 

 The parties to this action represent, stipulate and jointly respectfully request the 

following: 

 1. That the settlement conference presently scheduled before Magistrate Judge 

Bernard Zimmerman on May 11, 2006, be rescheduled to a Magistrate Judge who is able 

to hear the settlement conference on June 12, 2006, or be vacated. Defendants are 

informed that Magistrate Judge Zimmerman is on vacation from May 15, 2006, through 

June 6, 2006, and that the Magistrate’s calendar is completely booked until July or 

August, 2006. The current trial date in this matter is June 19, 2006. The reason for the 

request is that the hearing on defendants’ motion for summary judgment has been 

rescheduled to May 23, 2006, and settlement discussions will be unproductive and 

potentially unnecessary, prior to this hearing; and 

 2. That the Court’s Order dated April 24, 2006, reschedules the pre-trial 

conference for June 13, 2006. As instructed, the pre-trial preparation documents are due 

no later than May 23, 2006 (the current hearing date of defendants’ motion for summary 

judgment), motions in limine and objections to evidence are due no later than May 30, 

2006, and responses to motions in limine and objections to evidence are due no later than 

June 6, 2006. The parties respectfully request that these dates be adjusted slightly to 

allow the Court time to rule on defendants’ motion for summary judgment, as follows: 

pre-trial preparation documents due no later than May 26, 2006, motions in limine and 

objections to evidence due no later than June 2, 2006, and responses to motions in limine 

and objections to evidence due no later than June 6, 2006. 

DATED: April 27, 2006 Respectfully submitted,
