Plaintiffs, MARTIN MARTINEZ; JESUS SOTO; RENE CASTRO; GABRIEL PEREZ;

FERNANDO CARRASCO; RAFAEL A. LOPEZ MOLINA; AND GERARDO N. CARASCO,

and Defendants, HERMAN M. ROMAGUERA; CARMEN HALL SORUCO; VOLCANO

CONSTRUCTION, INC., and JUAN JOSE GUERRERO, through their respective counsel,

hereby stipulate to continue the filing of the Status Reports and the Initial Case Management

Conference for 60 days as follows:

1. The Initial Case Management Conference is set for August 5, 2008 at 10:00 a.m.

2. The Parties settled the action on July 9, 2008 after an all day mediation session

with the Hon. Alex Saldamando of ADR Services, Inc. All Plaintiffs except for Plaintiff Rene

Castro, who is residing in Mexico, have signed the written settlement agreement and there is a

binding settlement as to these Plaintiffs with all Defendants. Under the agreement, Plaintiff

Castro, has the election to accept a settlement offer and he, his current counsel, and former

counsel Parviz Darabi are negotiating with the help of Judge Saldomando with respect to this

settlement offer and fees sought by his former counsel. This does not affect the binding nature

of the settlement as among all the other parties.

3. The written and executed settlement agreement calls for certain events to occur

prior to funds being distributed. Funds have to be released by Defendant Johnstone Moyer, Inc.,

the general contractor, after Plaintiffs execute Releases of Stop Notices filed with the City of

Pittsburg. The Agreement calls for Defendant Johnstone Moyer, Inc. to hold the Stop Notice

Releases and to segregate certain funds among Plaintiffs and Defendant Volcano Construction,

Inc. one of its subcontractors. Paperwork to effectuate this has been drafted and is being

reviewed by counsel for changes.

4. A 60-Day continuance is sought so that the settlement can be realized. By that

time, the matter as to all Plaintiffs except Castro, with all Defendants should be fully settled and

a Dismissal would be filed. With respect to Plaintiff Castro, a 60-Day continuance would give

him and his former and current counsel the time to finish negotiations as to attorneys’ fees

sought by former counsel.
