DECLARATION OF CATHLEEN A. WADHAMS

 IN SUPPORT OF STIPULATION TO EXTEND DEADLINE

FOR EARLY NEUTRAL EVALUATION 

I, Cathleen A. Wadhams, declare as follows:

1. I’m an attorney at law licensed to practice in all courts in the State of

California and am admitted to practice in U.S. District Court for Northern California. I

am the attorney of record for defendant AC Transit in this action and the matters stated in

this declaration are within my personal knowledge and if called to testify, I could and

would competently testify to them.

2. The parties participated in Early Neutral Evaluation with Greta Schnetzler,

Esq. on August 16, 2007. The parties are both interested in settling this case and continue

to explore the potential of providing plaintiff with a disability retirement option, and

while the August 16, 2007 ENE was productive, the parties and the evaluator agreed that

a second ENE session was warranted. Both sides and the evaluator agreed to schedule a

second ENE session for September 6, 2007, a date available for all concerned, and which

gives the parties enough time to explore the medical viability of a disability retirement

option. However, this date is beyond the deadline for completing the ENE process. The

parties are thus requesting, via this stipulation and declaration, that the deadline be

extended to October 30, 2007.

While this is the second request for an extension, the ENE process is not

being delayed in anyway, as the parties have already participated in a full session on

August 16, 2007, and have scheduled a second session to take place next week. The

parties are optimistic and hopeful that this matter can be resolved by way of settlement

and the second ENE session will be specifically focused on settlement discussions.

The parties request that the deadline for completing the ENE process be extended to

October 30, 2007. While this deadline is 60 days out, it will insure that the parties have

time to fully explore settlement options, and will not need to request any further

extensions. 

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
