RECORD:

Plaintiff TRAVELERS PROPERTY CASUALTY COMPANY OF AMERICA

4

(“Travelers”) hereby submits this updated settlement report and request for an

5

extension of the Court’s March 22, 2016, Conditional Order of Dismissal. [ECF No.

6

14.]

8

The Court had previously granted an extension of the March 22, 2016,
Conditional Order of Dismissal on June 1, 2016. [ECF No. 17.]

9

The parties have finalized the settlement agreement in this case. However, the

10

settlement is conditioned on defendant RANGER PIPELINE, INC. (“Ranger

11

Pipeline”) obtaining a good faith settlement order in the underlying construction

12

defect case entitled The Regents of the University of California v. RMF Engineering,

13

Inc., et al., San Francisco Superior Court Case No. CGC-12-518341 (the “Underlying

14

Action”). Or, alternatively, settling the entirety of the Underlying Action.

15

Due to the conditional nature of the settlement agreement and Ranger

16

Pipeline’s need to re-file its motion for a good faith settlement order or settle the

17

Underlying Action, Travelers requests that this Court continue to retain jurisdiction of

18

this case for another ninety (90) days or until Travelers files a dismissal with

19

prejudice prior to the ninety (90) day extension of the conditional dismissal.
