1. Defendant NADHI, INC. (“NADHI”) is hereby dismissed from this action WITHOUT

prejudice;

2. NADHI shall cooperate with the pending litigation by making its Person Most

Qualified to testify pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 30(b)(6) available for the giving of his or her deposition

and/or trial testimony without the need for subpoena upon reasonable Notice made by mail to

NADHI’s attorney of record, Henry P. “Rick” Canvel, Esq., Gordon & Rees, LLP, 275 Battery Street,

Suite 2000, San Francisco, CA 94111, Ph: (415) 986-5900, Fax: (415) 986-8054 pursuant to the

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure as if it were still a party. NADHI agrees to this arrangement, that it

is subject to the jurisdiction of this Court, and that it will accept service of any Notice of Deposition

or Notice to Appear at Trial via United States Mail and be bound thereby during the pendency of this

Action.

3. NADHI may, at its option, agree to participate in settlement discussions before a

Magistrate Judge or other settlement officer duly appointed by the above-entitled Court upon

reasonable notice to Mr. Canvel, as if it were a party to this Action.

4. NADHI has waived any rights under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1989

or its equivalent under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and is ordered to provide its Person Most

Qualified to Testify as a witness at trial in the pending litigation on notice as set forth above as if it

were still a party regardless of its principal place of business at the time of service.

5. Should facts develop or documents be discovered at any time prior to the judgment

being entered in this Action, NADHI, INC. has reserved its right to seek to intervene, file a joinder, or

stipulate to or oppose a motion for joinder by another party in this Action, and JAMES RIVER shall

not oppose such intervention or joinder.

6. Unless it elects to intervene or is otherwise joined in the litigation of this Action,

NADHI shall be bound by any judgment ultimately rendered against Nestor Castaneda, Diana

Castaneda, Estrella Rothstein and/or Diana’s Care Home as though it were still a party to this Action. 

The Court retains jurisdiction over NADHI for the purpose of entering a Judgment in plaintiff’s

behalf should plaintiff prevail against Nestor Castaneda, Diana Castaneda, Estrella Rothstein and/or

Diana’s Care Home.
