____________________________________:

Case No. 1:03-CV-06898 DLB

STIPULATION TO VACATE AND

RESET PRETRIAL CONFERENCE

AND TRIAL DATES

Pretrial Conference: April 4, 2008

Trial: June 3, 2008

The parties to the above-entitled action hereby submit the instant stipulation regarding their

proposal to vacate the currently set dates for the pre-trial conference and jury trial in this matter, and the

proposed new dates for those appearances. 

The continuance which is being sought is necessary in order to avoid a possible Fifth

Amendment conflict with plaintiff’s criminal jury trial which has not, as yet, been held, and the date of

which has yet to be reset. It was anticipated at the last continuance that the underlying criminal trial

would be held in late 2007 or the beginning of 2008 if the case did not resolve. However, due to factors

beyond plaintiff’s counsel’s control, a last minute plea bargain fell through and the case has been

rescheduled for a trial setting conference March 28, 2008 in Stanislaus County Superior Court. The

underlying criminal trial will be set within 90 days of the March 28, 2008 trial setting conference.

Plaintiff’s counsel and defense counsel agree that this will be last continuance request in this matter

regardless if plaintiff’s underlying criminal case is not resolved.

Through the signatures of their counsel on this stipulation, the parties stipulate to vacate the

scheduled pretrial conference hearing, which is currently set for April 4, 2008, and the scheduled trial

date of June 3, 2008, so as to allow the criminal matter to be decided in advance of the trial of this civil

matter arising from the same incident/transaction. 

The parties propose that, should the court’s calendar allow it, the pre-trial conference be reset

to September 19, 2008 at 1:30 p.m. in Courtroom 9 (DLB) of the above-entitled court and the jury trial

to November 4, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. in Courtroom 9 (DLB) of the above-entitled court, or to such other

dates after those as may better suit the court’s calendar.

Respectfully submitted,
