CHRISTINE A. CUMMINGS; et al., ON BEHALF OF

THEMSELVES AND THE CLASS THEY

REPRESENT,

Plaintiffs,

v.

KATHLEEN CONNELL, Controller, State of

STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER

FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

HEARING DATE: Tuesday, 5 September

2006

TIME: 1:30 p.m.

COURTROOM OF JUDGE SHUBB,

COURTROOM 5, 15TH FLOOR

Plaintiffs Christine A. Cummings, et al., on behalf of themselves and the class they represent

(“the Nonmembers”), hereby file their Stipulation and Proposed Order for an Extension of Time to file

their joint (with Defendants) motion, pursuant to Rule 23(e)(1)(A) and/or 23(h), FED.R.CIV.P., Rule

54(d)(2), FED.R.CIV.P., and CIV.L.R. 54-293, E.D.CAL., for approval of a [Proposed] Class Notice

regarding the settlement of the issue of attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses in the above-referenced

matter, and in support thereof state:

1. This Court entered its final Amended Judgment in a Civil Case on 5 July 2006 (Clerk’s

Docket No. 272).

2. Pursuant to CIV.L.R. 54-293, E.D.CAL., Plaintiffs’ Petition for Attorneys’ Fees, Costs,

and Expenses Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 would, in the normal course of matters, be due thirty days

thereafter, on 4 August 2006.

3. The Nonmembers and Defendant SEIU Local 1000 have reached a tentative agreement

settling the Nonmembers’ claim for attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses, and are currently in the

process of preparing the documents necessary to enter into that settlement, seek the Court’s approval

of a notice necessary to notify the member of the class pursuant to Rule 23(e)(1)(A) and/or 23(h),

FED.R.CIV.P., and to facilitate, contemporaneously therewith, distribution of nominal damages

awarded by this Court.

4. While the parties had hoped to file the necessary documents within the normal deadline

contemplated by CIV.L.R. 54-293, E.D.CAL., their intentions have proven too ambitious, and it appears

that a short, fourteen-day extension will provide a prudent time necessary to finalize the required

documents.

5. Counsel for Defendants have been informed of Plaintiffs’ intention to file this Motion,

and have authorized Plaintiffs’ counsel to represent that they stipulate to it.
