record.

WHEREAS, on July 8, 2005, a case management conference proceeded in this matter

prior ruling on the interpretation of Gulf s Insured versus Insured Exclusion;

WHEREAS, the parties have in good faith engaged in serious settlement discussions 

since the time of the case management conference such that it now appears possible that a 

mutually acceptable resolution of this action which will facilitate Gulf s appeal can be arrived at 

between the parties;

WHEREAS, at the case management conference, Judge Wilken also ordered defendant 

Gulf to file its motion for summary judgment on the Genuine Dispute Doctrine by July 29, 2005, 

for a hearing date on September 2, 2005; 

WHEREAS, due to the complexity of the negotiations, the Parties subsequently twice

stipulated, and Judge Wilken twice ordered, that the schedule for defendant Gulf s motion for

summary judgment be continued two weeks so that the Parties could further negotiate settlement 

such that the deadline to file the motion was continued first to August 12, 2005 with a hearing

date of September 16, 2005, and then the deadline to file the motion continued to August 26, 

2005 with a hearing date of September 30, 2005; and

WHEREAS, the Parties have mutually agreed that they are close to conclusion of their 

negotiations but require a little more additional time such that the interests of the Parties and 

judicial economy would be best served by continuing the schedule for Gulf s motion for

summary judgment for yet another two weeks in order to allow the Parties to focus their efforts 

on their attempt to work out a negotiated disposition of the action;

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED THAT:

1. The prior briefing schedule for Gulf s motion for summary judgment is hereby 

vacated; and
