SF\3129689.1 STIPULATION TO EXTEND DEADLINE TO FILE 

DISPOSITIONAL DOCUMENT AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

2:05-CV-446 GEB PAN 

1. On July 25, 2006, the parties reached a settlement of this matter before Bradley 

Benbrook, the Neutral Attorney appointed to facilitate this action in the Voluntary Dispute 

Resolution Program (“VDRP”); 

2. However, the parties have not drafted the final terms of the Settlement Agreement 

and Mutual Release. The delay has not been caused by a disagreement concerning the settlement 

terms reached at the VDRP, but merely an issue of processing the Settlement Agreement and 

Mutual Release; 

3. The Court’s Order dated July 28, 2006 requires a dispositional document to be 

filed no later than August 15, 2006. Now, therefore, it is hereby stipulated and agreed, subject to 

the Court’s approval, that pursuant to Local Rule 16-160(B), the Court continue this date for 14 

days, until August 29, 2006, while the parties finalize the Settlement Agreement and Mutual 

Release.
