SECOND STIPULATION TO EXTEND TIME TO RESPOND TO COUNTER AND CROSS-CLAIMS; [PROPOSED] ORDER

Gern Nagler, individually and as Trustee of the John W. Burns Testamentary Trust (“Nagler”), by 

and through his counsel of record Eric Garner of Wagner, Kirkman, Blaine, Klomparens & 

Youmans LLP, stipulate and agree as follows: 

The deadline for Plaintiffs to respond to the Counter and Cross-Claims filed by Century 

Indemnity Company, as successor to CCI Insurance Company, as successor to Insurance 

Company of North America, as alleged insurer of The Estate of Ronald G. Armstrong, Deceased, 

pursuant to California Probate Code section 550 et seq., shall be extended for 28 days from 

December 28, 2012, up to and including January 25, 2013. The parties hereto previously 

stipulated to one prior extension from November 30, 2012 to December 28, 2012. Good cause 

exists for the requested extension. Several parties to this action, including but not limited to the 

parties to this stipulation, are presently engaged in settlement discussions, have participated in a 

full day of mediation before Robert Kaplan of Judicate West, and have agreed to continue the 

mediation to a mutually acceptable date in the future. Based on the status of the parties 

settlement discussions and mediation, as well as other factors, the parties are meeting and 

conferring about the possibility of filing a joint motion seeking a further brief stay of the 

litigation. The requested extension would allow the parties to conserve their limited resources 

while these settlement discussions and mediation are ongoing.
