The parties stipulate as follows, subject to approval by the Court: 

1. The Court previously ordered that this case be referred to mediation. 

2. The case is set for mediation on April 12, 2007. 

3. A representative of the San Francisco Police Department will attend the mediation. 

4. Plaintiffs have named nine police officers as defendants. Defendants contend that a 

majority of these officers have little or no connection to the incident giving rise to this case. 

5. Excusing the officers, while having a department representative attend the mediation, 

will not impede the effectiveness of the process. It is almost certain that any settlement reached in the 

case will be paid by the City and subject to approval by the appropriate City official or board. 

6. If the Court would like for an officer to be present, then the parties request that only 

Officer Jesse Farrell attend. Officer Farrell wrote the police report describing the incident.
