SACRAMENTO DIVISION 

LARRY GIRALDES, 

Plaintiff,

v. 

ROCHE, et al., 

Defendants.

2:06-CV-2277 MCE CMK 

STIPULATION TO STAY ACTION FOR 

120 DAYS PENDING SETTLEMENT 

NEGOTIATIONS 

AND ORDER 

Plaintiff pro per, Larry Giraldes, Jr., and Defendants James and Roche, through their 

attorney of record Tracy S. Hendrickson, stipulate to stay this action for 120 days, to and 

including September 14, 2010, pending settlement negotiations. The parties will attempt a global 

settlement of this case and two other related cases filed by Plaintiff (Giraldes v. Prebula, CIV-S01-2110 LKK PAN P and Giraldes v. Hicimbothom, 1:09-CV-0154 DLB). Although defense 

counsel does not yet have settlement authority, efforts are being undertaken to promptly secure 

that authority and, assuming authority is provided, to schedule possible mediation of this matter. 

Defense counsel and Plaintiff have conferred by telephone on several occasions to discuss

settlement issues and to contemplate scheduling mediation when/if settlement authority is 

granted. 

In the interim, the parties request that the Court vacate the deadline for Plaintiff to oppose 

Defendants’ motion for summary judgment, stay the Court’s decision on Defendants’ motion for 

leave to file an amended answer, and refrain from setting a trial date until the parties have had an 

opportunity to conduct settlement negotiations. The parties anticipate that settlement authority, if 

provided, would dispose of the entire case and two of Plaintiff’s other related cases. 

In the event settlement negotiations are unsuccessful, counsel for Defendant will promptly 

notify the Court. The parties request that upon such notification, the Court allow Plaintiff twentyone days to oppose the supplemental summary judgment motion, and that the Court render a 

decision on Defendants’ motion for leave to amend the answer. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
