participate in early neutral evaluation. 2. On August 1, 2008, Peter Sandmann was assigned as the parties' neutral evaluator

for this matter. An early neutral evaluation was scheduled before Mr. Sandmann on December 2, 2008. 3. On September 25, 2008, plaintiffs filed a motion for partial summary judgment.

On September 26, 2008, Allstate filed a motion to compel arbitration under Civil Code section 2860. The hearing on both motions was completed on October 31, 2008. The Court has taken the matters under submission, and has not yet issued a ruling. 4. The parties agree that the Court's rulings on the two motions will resolve many of

the issues in this litigation. Therefore, in the interest of judicial economy, the parties believe that the early neutral evaluation should be postponed until after the Court has ruled on the motions. The neutral evaluator, Mr. Sandmann, has advised that he is amenable to postponing the early neutral evaluation session, upon approval from the Court 5. Accordingly, the parties request that the early neutral evaluation session be

rescheduled for a date in early January 2009 that is mutually convenient to the parties and to Mr. Sandmann, and that the deadline for completion of ADR be extended until January 15, 2009.
