For Defendant Able Services, Inc.

DECLARATION OF CINDY O’HARA

I, Cindy O’Hara, declare:

1. I am an attorney at law licensed to practice in the state of California, a senior trial

attorney with Plaintiff Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and an attorney of

record for Plaintiff EEOC in this action.

2. On November 16, 2007, Defendant Able Services’s counsel Danielle Ellis and I,

as counsel for Plaintiff EEOC, attended a case management conference, at which we discussed

with the Court our plans for Defendant obtaining some documents through subpoena, and

Plaintiff EEOC conducting one deposition, and then returning to mediation. At said case

management conference, Ms. Ellis informed me that she was leaving right after the case

management conference for the Thanksgiving week. The following week I was in Chicago all

week on depositions in another matter. I returned to the office on December 3, 2007, however

on December 5, 2007 I commenced an unanticipated six week medical leave, from which I just

returned on January 18, 2008. Nothing was done on the case in my absence.

3. Since my return to work, I have spoken with Ms. Ellis and the mediator, and we

are in the process of arranging a mediation and a date for Plaintiff EEOC’s deposition.

4. Since the February 8, 2008 Case Management Conference was set anticipating

that the mediation would have taken place by then and it has not, the parties now request a two

month continuance of that date to allow the parties to conduct the discovery they represented

was necessary prior to mediation (subpoena of documents on the part of Defendant, one

deposition on the part of Plaintiff), and the mediation session, prior to a Case Management

Conference.

5. In addition, because of the unanticipated delay in this case due to my medical

leave, the parties request that all dates be continued as set forth in the proposed order below, to

allow the parties to conduct and conclude discovery should they not be successful in settling the

case at mediation.

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

29th day of January, 2008, at San Francisco, California.
