The Honorable Susan Illston

Whereas on November 9, 2006, the Plaintiff Equal Employment Opportunity Commission

(“EEOC”) and Defendant Albion River Inn, Inc. (“Albion”), with the Court’s approval, stipulated

to participate in mediation (Stipulation and Order Selecting ADR Process).

Whereas the Court’s November 13, 2006 order on the parties’ November 9, 2006

30, 2007.

Whereas prior to Hadji’s intervention, attorneys for plaintiff and defendant were aware

that Abdellatif Hadji (“Hadji”) wanted to intervene and therefore postponed the depositions of

Roy and Norma Cuneo as well as the pre-mediation conference until Hadji was represented by

private counsel. 

Whereas on February 5, 2007, mediator Peter Sherwood and the parties, including private

counsel for Hadji, participated in a pre-mediation conference, at which time it was agreed that a

continuance of the mediation deadline was necessary to facilitate the depositions of key witnesses. 

The parties also scheduled a second pre-mediation conference for March 9, 2007.

Whereas on February 7, 2007, the parties, including private counsel for Hadji, agreed that

the deposition of the following key witnesses should be completed prior to a mediation:

Abdellatif Hadji

Roy Cuneo

Norma Cuneo

Peter Wells

Flurry Healy

Karen Laudadio

Whereas in order to accommodate Hadji’s counsels’ schedule, the depositions of Roy and

Norma Cuneo were rescheduled from February 6 and 7, 2007 to March 6 and 7, 2007.

Whereas counsel are in the process of scheduling the depositions of the other witnesses

including Ms. Laudadio, who resides out-of-state.

Whereas counsel are in the process of setting a reasonable date for Intervener’s initial

disclosures pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26.

Whereas on February 8, 2007, the parties, with the Court’s approval, permitted Hadji to

intervene in this action and file a Complaint in Intervention. 

The parties to this matter, by and through their counsel of record do hereby stipulate

and jointly request:

1. That the Court continue the mediation deadline to May 18, 2007 as the parties believe that
