through the law firm of DiCaro, Coppo & Popcke, and have filed a Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure (FRCP) 12(b)(1) Motion to Dismiss, currently set for hearing on March 22, 2010.

Defendant LISA IVERS has recently been served with plaintiff’s Summons and

Complaint on February 18, 2010. Ms. Ivers will also currently be represented by DiCaro,

Coppo & Popcke. The same FRCP 12(b)(1) Motion to Dismiss would be filed on behalf of

defendant Lisa Ivers, setting forth the same factual and legal arguments as the current

pending Motion to Dismiss. Judicial economy and the interests of the parties and court

would be best served if Lisa Ivers is included and joined within the relief sought by said

Motion to Dismiss brought by all the other defendants.

STIPULATION

Based upon the above recitals, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the

parties hereto, through their respective attorneys, that defendant LISA IVERS, may be

included in the FRCP 12(b)(1) Motion to Dismiss of Defendants CORCORAN DISTRICT

HOSPITAL, a district hospital; JONATHAN BRENN, CEO of CORCORAN DISTRICT

HOSPITAL and an individual; JAMES CARTER THOMAS, M.D., an individual; SUE
