CASE NO. CIV. S-02-0442 LKK DAD 

STIPULATION FOR DISMISSAL 

[FRCP Rule 41(a)(1), (2)] 

AND RELATED CROSS-ACTIONS 

This stipulation is intended to correct a prior stipulation and order (Doc #347) that was 

drafted to dismiss certain parties from the actions. 

 

Third party Defendant Newton-Bracewell was originally brought into this matter by an 

amended third party complaint filed by Peden Enterprises (First Amended Third Party Complaint 

(Doc # 141)). Newton-Bracewell in turn filed a third party complaint against related parties ( Lee 

and Mabrey (Doc #77)) as well as counter-claims (Doc # 200) and cross claims (Doc #201) 

against Peden Enterprises, City of Chico, Noret, Inc., Norville and Janet Weiss, Goldie Olsen,

counter-claim against Peden Enterprises were inadvertently omitted from the stipulation, and the 

stipulation’s referenced Peden’s Third Party Complaint (Doc #55) rather than the Amended 

Third Party Complaint (Doc #141), in which Newton-Bracewell was named, which has also 

confused the matter.

stipulation.

Amended Third Party Complaint against Newton-Bracewell with prejudice and the cross-claims 

and counter-claims against other parties by Newton-Bracewell with prejudice; each party to 

bear their own costs, litigation expenses, and attorney fees: 

The parties stipulate that: 

1) Newton-Bracewell’s cross-claim’s (Doc #201) against City of Chico, Noret, Inc., 

Norville and Janet Weiss, Goldie Olsen, Sunset View Cemetery, and Chico Unified School 

District, and any counter-claim thereto, and the counter-claim against Peden Enterprises (Doc # 

200) by Newton-Bracewell are to be dismissed with prejudice. 

2) Peden Enterprises, John and Lorena Peden’s First Amended Complaint (Doc #141) 

is dismissed with prejudice as to Newton-Bracewell, Inc.
