JOINT CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE STATEMENT – Case No. C 01-4906 (CW) 

coverage issues posed by the U.S. Aggregates Securities Litigation. 

This Court entered final judgment on September 28, 2005 on Counts I and II of 

Plaintiffs First Amended Complaint pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b). 

Those two counts raised the major coverage questions posed by the litigation. The Court 

stayed all proceedings with respect to the remaining two counts (breach of contract and bad 

faith) pending resolution of the appeal that Gulf indicated it would take from the judgment.1

 

The appeal was fully briefed by May 4, 2006. The Ninth Circuit heard oral argument on 

October 18, 2007. 

Given the current status, the parties respectfully request that the scheduled CMC be 

vacated until disposition by the Court of Appeals. If the Court requests, the parties will 

provide the Court with periodic status reports as the Court may desire.
