JOINT REQUEST TO VACATE DISMISSAL WITH PREJUDICE AND TO ENTER CONDITIONAL DISMISSAL

AND ENTRY OF JUDGMENT UPON DEFAULT - Case No. C 06-3869 MHP Page 2

The parties hereby request that the order filed on April 11, 2007, dismissing the action with

prejudice, be vacated. The action has been settled by the parties’ agreement that defendant make

installment payments, that the court enter a conditional dismissal, and that the court enter judgment

in the event of a default in said payments.

PROCEDURAL HISTORY

In a Certification of ADR Session, dated March 30, 2007, Fred D. Butler, the mediator

appointed by the Court’s ADR Unit, stated that the action had been fully settled. (Court Document

No. 17.) 

In apparent reliance on the Certification of ADR Session, on April 11, 2007, the Court issued

an Order of Ninety-Day Conditional Dismissal. (Court Document No. 18.) The Order stated: 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this action is dismissed with prejudice; provided,

however, that if any party hereto shall certify to this Court, with a proof of service of

a copy on opposing counsel, within 90 days from the date hereof, that the agreed

consideration for the settlement has not been delivered over, this Order shall stand

vacated, and the action shall be restored to the calendar to be set for trial.

In fact, the parties had not finally agreed on a settlement by March 30, 2007. The parties

reached final agreement on the terms of settlement on April 9, 2007. Those terms are set forth in the

Settlement Agreement and Stipulation for Conditional Dismissal and Entry of Judgment Upon

Default, filed herewith. Under the Settlement Agreement, defendant James Island Plastering, Inc.

agreed to make 12 monthly installment payments to the plaintiff Trust Funds, with the final payment

due by April 1, 2008. The defendant further agreed that if any installment were not paid timely or if

any future fringe benefit contributions, which were due for work performed through March 2008, were

not paid timely, the plaintiff Trust Funds could ask the court to enter judgment. 

REQUEST TO VACATE ORDER (NINETY-DAY CONDITIONAL DISMISSAL)

The terms of the Settlement Agreement and Stipulation for Conditional Dismissal and Entry

of Judgment Upon Default are thus inconsistent with the Court’s Order filed on April 11, 2007.

Accordingly, the parties hereby request that the Court’s April 11, 2007 Order dismissing the action
