CASE NO. C06-2181 CRB

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED]

ORDER CONTINUING THE CASE

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

IT IS STIPULATED by and between plaintiffs Les Jankey and Disability Rights

Enforcement, Education Services, and defendants James P. Charas and Anastacios Mermegas,

dba Ernesto’s Pizza, that the case management conference currently set for September 1, 2006,

be continued for approximately thirty (30) days.

Plaintiffs’ counsel represents that service of the summons and complaint was only

finally effectuated on defendants Albert Wong and Theresa Wong on July 31, 2006, despite

extensive and diligent effort by plaintiff. Accordingly, defendants Wong’s response to the

Case 3:06-cv-02181-CRB Document 14 Filed 08/28/06 Page 1 of 3

complaint was not due until Monday, August 21, 2006. Defendants Albert and Teresa Wong

have failed to timely respond to the complaint, and a letter explaining the threat and

consequence of default was mailed to them on Tuesday, August 22, 2006. A true and correct

copy of this letter is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Plaintiffs’ counsel has demanded a response

from defendants Albert and Teresa Wong before August 30, 2006. If such response is not

timely received, a request for entry of default will be filed on August 31, 2006.

Because the parties were anticipating the participation of defendants Albert and Teresa

Wong in these proceedings, and because the parties believed that preceding with settlement

discussions absent the participation of all defendants would be inefficient and potentially

counter-productive, the parties have not undertaken the early settlement procedures set-forth in

the Court’s standing order for disability access litigation. Counsel are, however, now

conferring in this regard and are moving forward with these settlement efforts.

Therefore, to allow either an appearance by or default against the Wong defendants to

occur in advance of the case management conference, and to allow the stipulating parties to

undertake the early settlement procedures required by the Court, the parties respectfully

request that the case management conference and all associated filing deadlines be continued

for thirty (30) days.

Respectfully submitted,
