Civil Action No. C-06-2974 JSW

JOINT STIPULATION AND REQUEST

FOR RELIEF FROM MEDIATION

DEADLINE AND TO CONTINUE CASE

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE TO

ALLOW PARTIES TO FINALIZE

SETTLEMENT DOCUMENTS 

Whereas the parties to this matter have reached a settlement in principle, have reached

agreement as to the amount of monetary damages, have reached agreement on almost all other

terms of settlement, and are currently finalizing a Consent Decree to be lodged with the Court,

which will resolve all claims raised in this action; and

Whereas the parties previously stipulated, with the Court’s approval, to continue all dates

in this matter pending mediation (Joint Stipulation to Stay All Proceedings Pending Mediation,

filed October 10, 2006); and

Whereas the parties were successful in reaching agreement without the need for

mediation; and

Whereas the Court’s October 11, 2006 Order on the parties’ aforementioned October 10,

2006 stipulation specifies that the deadline to complete mediation is January 19, 2007, with a

further Case Management Conference on January 26, 2007;

The parties to this matter, by and through their counsel of record hereby stipulate and

jointly request:

1. That the Court vacate the January 19, 2007 mediation deadline as mediation is no

longer necessary because the parties have reached agreement without need for

mediation; and

2. That the Court remove the January 26, 2007 Case Management Conference from

its calendar, and reset said Case Management Conference eight weeks, to March

23, 2007, to allow the parties to finalize their settlement. The parties fully

anticipate that their Consent Decree will be finalized and lodged with the Court by

that date, and that any need for said Conference will be mooted.

E-filing concurrence: I, Cindy O’Hara, attorney for Plaintiff EEOC, attest that I have

obtained the concurrence of Rod M. Fliegel, attorney for Defendant Bally Total Fitness

Corporation, for the filing of this Stipulation and Request.
