The parties to the above-entitled action jointly submit this Stipulation and

2005, for approximately 60-90 days.

Stipulation and Order Continuing Settlement Conference Case No. C 04-2664 TEH (BZ)

by Plaintiff’s counsel on December 16, 2005, and forwarded to defense counsel on

December 19, 2005. Dr. Richley has recommended aqua therapy to mobilize Mr.

Meftah and rehabilitate him in a nonweight bearing setting. Dr. Richley has

advised that following rehabilitation and aqua therapy, as such time as Mr. Meftah

stabilizes, he may be a candidate for minimally invasive discoplasty, possibly an

endoscopic procedure at L4-5. 

Consequently, the parties are not in a position to meaningfully evaluate the

case for settlement purposes at this time. A trial date has not yet been set in this

matter.

Based on the foregoing, the parties hereby stipulate and respectfully request

that the settlement conference scheduled for December 22, 2005, be continued for

approximately 60-90 days.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
