Plaintiff Travelers Casualty and Surety Company of America (“Travelers”) and defendants 

Tinney Construction Corporation, Aidan Tinney, and Christy Tinney (collectively the 

“Defendants”)(Travelers and Defendants are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Parties”), 

respectfully advise this Court as to the status of this matter and stipulate as follows:

1. At the January 13, 2006 case management conference in this matter, this Court ordered the 

Parties to mediation prior to the deadline for filing summary judgment motions(i.e., before 

TRAVELERS CASUALTY AND

February 17, 2006). At that time, the Parties were instructed by the Court to await contact from 

the Court’s ADR Department for scheduling the mediation. The Court’s order in this regard 

instructed the parties to complete mediation, not referencing whether that mediation was to be 

conducted through the Court’s ADR Department or, alternatively, private mediation. 

2. After not receiving any communication from the Court’s ADR Department, counsel for 

Travelers contacted the ADR Department in early February, 2006. At that time, the ADR 

Department notified counsel that it had not received the necessary “referral documents” for 

scheduling this matter for mediation. The ADR Department further notified counsel for Travelers 

that it was unable to schedule a mediation prior to the February 17, 2006 deadline for concluding 

same. 

3. In response to the ADR Department’s unavailability, and in order to comply with this Court’s 

order to mediation, the Parties agreed to participate in a private mediation, which mediation was 

held on February 14, 2006. The Court’s ADR Department was informed of the Parties’ intent to 

privately mediate the matter. During the mediation, the Parties agreed to a settlement of all 

disputes in the instant litigation, and the Parties executed a written settlement agreement 

memorializing their settlement. 

4. The Parties are in the process of finalizing the terms of the settlement agreement, including the 

preparation of documents which secure the obligations therein. The Parties intend to file the 

necessary notices with this Court upon finalization of the settlement documents. Accordingly, the 

Parties stipulate and respectfully request that the Court vacate the April 17, 2006 trial date in this 

matter, as the Parties will be filing in the immediate future (but in any event no later than April 17, 

2006) a stipulation and proposed order of dismissal, wherein the Court will retain jurisdiction for 

purposes of enforcing the Parties’ written settlement agreement if necessary.
