STIP. TO FURTHER MODIFY DATES (NORTHERN, 

WESTERN & SOUTHERN PLUME TRIAL); [PROPOSED] 

ORDER; CASE NO. CIV-S-00-2441 FCD JFM 

WHEREAS, on January 26, 2005, the Court issued its Fourth Amended Scheduling Order 

for the Northern, Western, & Southern Plume Trial establishing discovery and pre-trial deadlines 

which was subsequently modified by Order of this Court on April 7, 2006. 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff City of Lodi has made substantial progress in reaching settlements 

with all of the Southern Plume defendants; 

WHEREAS, certain Western Plume defendants (the Newfield parties, the Lewis parties, 

the Norge parties, the Service Laundry parties, Harman Managers Investment Ltd., 

R. Spiekerman, the Bollinger parties, and the Bader parties) and the City of Lodi have been 

engaged in investigation efforts of the Western Plume area that should lead to resolution by 

settlement for these parties. 

WHEREAS, certain Northern Plume defendants (the Gundershaug parties; Lustre-Cal 

Nameplate Corporation; the Ackel parties; Wright Motors; the Ehlers parties; the Weil Motors 

parties; Elizabeth Benson, as Trustee of the Nancy Lee Benson Revocable Living Trust; and Lodi 

Chrome) and the City of Lodi continue to engage in joint investigation efforts of the Northern 

Plume area; 

WHEREAS, the Northern Plume defendants and the City of Lodi have recently met and 

conferred on several occasions under the auspices of Court-appointed mediator Lester Levy of 

JAMS concerning a proposal for further site investigation and characterization with the goal of 

reaching settlements between the parties without further litigation. 

WHEREAS, discovery is currently stayed as to Northern Plume parties by order of this 

Court dated May 16, 2006 until August 7, 2006. 

WHEREAS, to allow the Northern Plume parties additional time to finalize a proposal for 

further site investigation and characterization, with the aid of mediator Lester Levy, and to avoid 

undue litigation expense by complying with the deadlines established in the Court’s Fourth 

Amended Scheduling Order (Northern, Western & Southern Plume Trial), the Parties now seek 

an order extending the current discovery stay as to the Northern Plume parties, and pursuant to 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b), modifying and extending the deadlines set forth within the
