The parties, Plaintiff David Olick (hereinafter, AOlick@) and Defendant Vivian Lily 

(hereinafter, ALily@) by and through their respective counsel, jointly apply for a continuance of the 

trial of this matter, currently set for November 3,2015 and respectfully request that the trial date be 

vacated, and the Court set the matter on calendar for trial setting in January, 2016 or alternatively set 

a new trial date in June, 2016. 

The continuance is being sought to enable the parties to have adequate opportunity to further 

pursue active settlement discussions. This case is one of two involving Olick and Lily, the second 

being their dissolution action, pending in Solano County, Case No. FFL 114985 ( hereinafter, the 

ADissolution Case.@) No trial date has been set in that action. There are overlapping issues in these 

cases and Olick and Lily are interested in reaching a global settlement of both this case and the 

Dissolution Case.

Recently the parties have been engaged in serious negotiations. While it appears that 

progress is being made, there is not adequate time to conclude these negotiations and, it is hoped

reach a global settlement, given the current trial date and the pretrial preparation required. The 

parties wish to place litigation activity in both cases on hold while negotiations are pursued in the 

hope that they will be able to reach a mutually agreeable resolution.

The ability to conclude these negotiations before having to switch focus to trial preparation 

based on the current trial date is complicated by health problems of both Lily and Olick. As set 

forth in the Declaration of Robert P. Rich, filed herewith, Lily has recently had major surgery and is 

currently hospitalized with pneumonia. While it is not currently anticipated that she will be unable 

to appear for trial due to medical problems, this is an uncertainty. She also faces possible 

additional surgery. Lily=s ability to participate directly in settlement discussions over the next 

weeks is hampered by her surgery and subsequent hospitalization with pneumonia. As set forth in 

the Declaration of Olick, who is both a party and co-counsel in this case, he has cardiac health 

concerns.

3

It is hoped that with additional time the parties can reach an overall settlement of the 

litigation between them, thereby avoiding the expenditure of judicial resources and the costs 

associated with trials in two forums. If the parties are unable to reach a negotiated settlement on 

their own, they anticipated asking the Court to refer this matter to a Magistrate Judge for a settlement 

conference. 

 The parties respectfully ask that the trial date be vacated, and that a setting conference be 

set for January 11, 2016, or thereafter, at which time, if the case has not been settled a new trial date 

would be selected. Alternatively, it is respectfully requested that the case be set for trial in June, 

2016, with all dates set in the Final Pretrial Order adjusted to the new trial date. 

STIPULATION

Lily and Olick stipulate as follows:

1. In Order that settlement discussions may be pursued effectively, that the trial date of 

this matter currently set for November 3, 2015 be vacated.

2. That the Court either: 

(1) Set this case for a trial setting conference in on or after January 11, 2015 as convenient 

to the Court or, 

(2) That the case be set for trial in or after June 2016 on a date convenient to the Court.

3. All dates set in the Final Pretrial Order will be adjusted to correspond to the new trial 

date, when set. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED:

DATED: October 1, 2015
