v.

Civil No. 2:07-CV-00835-WBS-DAD

JOINT CASE MANAGEMENT

CONFERENCE STATEMENT AND

REQUEST FOR CONTINUANCE

The parties to the above-entitled action jointly submit this Case Management Statement and

Proposed Order:

The parties participated in a conference call on May 9, 2007 to discuss the June 4, 2007 Case

Management Conference and the required disclosure dates set by the Court in this matter. During this

conference call, the following additional matters were discussed:

1. The fact that Engineered Glass Walls, Inc. is an indispensable party and must be named

and served in the action;

2. That the Northern California Glaziers Trust Funds were incorrectly named in the

Complaint, and that it is being amended. The Trust Funds have yet to be served.

Joint Case Management Conference Statement 2

3. The United States' response to the Complaint would not be due until after the set Case

Management Conference based on the date of service.

4. The parties also agreed that the Bank of Stockton and the United States would

exchange documents and legal authority in an effort to resolve this matter. The Bank of Stockton and the

Northern California Glaziers Trust Funds already have a settlement agreement in place, although it has

yet to be fully executed. 

Based on the foregoing, the parties jointly request that the current Case Management Conference,

set for June 4, 2007 at 1:30 p.m. be continued for 45 days to allow the matter to become “at issue” and to

permit the parties to exchange information amongst themselves in an effort to move this matter forward.
