WHEREAS:

1. The settlement conference in this matter is currently scheduled to take

place on June 19, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. before the Honorable Dennis L. Beck.;

2. Plaintiff’s counsel has informed defense counsel that he has attempted to

contact his client over the past three weeks several times by both telephone and

correspondence to no avail regarding her attendance at the settlement conference;

3. Plaintiff’s counsel has informed defense counsel that he is not certain

that plaintiff will attend the settlement conference due to his inability to contact

plaintiff;

4. The parties are both represented by attorneys whose offices are not in the

Eastern District of California (plaintiff’s counsel’s offices are in Los Angeles while

defense counsel’s offices are in San Francisco);

5. The parties do not wish to waste the Court’s valuable time, nor their time

in traveling to Fresno for the settlement conference, if the possibility exists that

plaintiff is not aware of the settlement conference and will not attend;

6. Now, therefore, it is hereby stipulated and agreed, subject to the Court’s

approval, that the Court continue the settlement conference for approximately 30

days, to July 17, 2006, or whatever date is convenient for the Court, to give plaintiff’s

counsel the opportunity to contact his client and remind her of the duties imposed

upon her by the Court. The parties do not believe a continuance of any other dates is

necessary.
