JOINT STIPULATION

Whereas, the parties made a good faith effort to settle this case, but due to circumstances

beyond their control (i.e. CalPers reticence to restore Plaintiff’s service credit unless she were

reinstated and paid back pay, even if the parties made the contributions to the CalPers fund that

would be made if she were reinstated and paid back pay);

Whereas, there currently are two cases filed, one in this Court and one in Sutter County

Superior Court, based upon the same set of facts, due to the fact that some of the claims asserted in

the Sutter County action could not be brought in this case as long as the defendants asserted the 11th

Amendment as a defense to those claims;

Whereas, the parties have met and conferred and agreed that to avoid two suits and to

proceed in the most efficient manner, it would serve everyone’s interest to consolidate the federal

and state cases;

Therefore, the parties stipulate as follows:

1. Plaintiff will file a request for dismissal in the Sutter County Superior Court case,

2. Defendants will withdraw their current motion for summary judgment, without

waiving their right to file a subsequent motion;

3. Plaintiff will amend her complaint in this case to add claims and parties currently in

the state case but not the federal case, with the express agreement that DDS will not raise 11th

amendment immunity to the claims currently brought in the state case against DDS;

4. Defendants shall be permitted to file a new summary judgment motion raising any

argument, except 11th Amendment immunity;

5. The parties jointly request that this Court set this case for a new trial, scheduled to

enable the parties to complete whatever discovery may be necessary in light of Plaintiff’s amended

complaint, and to file and defend against the anticipated motion for summary judgment and, if \\
