STIPULATED REQUEST TO EXTEND

sf- 2335909

WHEREAS, the present litigation between Plaintiff and Counter-Defendant CARSON 

HILL GOLD MINING CORPORATION (“CHGMC”) and Defendant and Counterclaimant 

SUTTON ENTERPRISES (“Sutton”) focuses on contractual allocations of responsibility for 

environmental conditions at the Carson Hill Mine (“Mine”) near Angels Camp in Calaveras 

County, California; and 

WHEREAS, on January 10, 2007, more than four months after the filing of this lawsuit, 

the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (“Water Board”) issued a Cleanup and 

Abatement Order, No. R5-2007-0700 (“CAO”), to Carson Hill Rock Products, an entity of 

Sutton, and CHGMC, regarding water quality issues at the Mine; and 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the CAO, CHGMC and Sutton must implement certain measures 

at the Mine during 2007 to address water quality concerns; and 

WHEREAS, pursuant to subsequent discussions with the Water Board, CHGMC and 

Sutton must submit a final Corrective Action Program for the Mine by February 15, 2008; and 

WHEREAS, the final Corrective Action Program for the Mine is anticipated to propose 

long-term measures at the Mine to address water quality concerns, which will likely be 

implemented beginning in 2008; and 

WHEREAS, these specific requirements of the CAO were not contemplated by the parties 

at the time of the filing of the lawsuit, and the parties anticipate that the measures implemented 

under the CAO this year and proposed under the final Corrective Action Program for the 

following years may have an impact on the issues in this litigation; and 

WHEREAS, based on deadlines proposed by the parties, the Court previously adopted the 

following litigation schedule for the case: 

Last Day to Disclose Experts: June 29, 2007 

Last Day to Serve Written Discovery Requests: July 27, 2007 

Last Day to Disclose Rebuttal Experts: July 27, 2007 

Last Day to Conduct Discovery: August 31, 2007 

Last to File Non-Dispositive Motions: August 31, 2007 

Last Day to File Dispositive Motions: September 28, 2007

Pre-Trial Conference: December 7, 2007 

Trial: January 15, 2008 

WHEREAS, at the time the current pre-trial and trial schedule was established, the parties 

were not aware of the requirements imposed by the CAO; and 

WHEREAS, the parties believe that extending the deadlines until after the date for 

submission of the final Corrective Action Program on February 15, 2008, will conserve the 

resources of the parties and the Court, and potentially focus the issues before the Court, because 

the remedies to be proposed under the final Corrective Action Plan on February 15, 2008, may 

substantially affect the nature and extent of expert testimony, the nature and extent of claimed 

damages, and the parties’ dispute in general. 

THEREFORE, the parties hereby stipulate and respectfully request the Court to extend the 

above dates as follows: 

Last Day to Disclose Experts: April 15, 2008 

Last Day to Serve Written Discovery Requests: May 15, 2008 

Last Day to Disclose Rebuttal Experts: May 15, 2008 

Last Day to Conduct Discovery: June 16, 2008 

Last to File Non-Dispositive Motions: June 16, 2008 

Last Day to File Dispositive Motions: July 15, 2008 

Pre-Trial Conference: August 29, 2008 

Trial: September 30, 2008
