CM-m IR" My‘ m1" CASE MANAGEMENT STATEMENT mm"
Exhibit “A”

Though submitted by counsel on behalf of defendants Randall C. Meline and Joan Sloner, as C0-
Trustces of the Edward Richard Meline and Charlene M. Meline Irrevocable Trust dated December 30, I992,
all other parties to this Action join in this Case Management Statement as they have done in the recent past.

The parties to [his Action are four branches of the same family, one of which commenced the Action to
partition the Range Property that is the subject hereof and which is owned by the parties in varying percentages.
The Action previously had been generally consensually referred to the Hon. Noel H. Watkins, Judge (Refd) as
referee by stipulation of the parties and order entered thereon on November 5, 20l 3, but he recently resigned as
such.

By stipulation and order ﬁled herein, the parties, their designation as plaintiffs or defendants, and their
representation are as follows: Plaintiffs Stephen Meline, IV, Robert J. Meline, Nelda F. lessee, and Melanie G.
Edgington are represented by Aaron W. Moore; Defendants Randall C. Meline and Joan Sloner, as Co-Trustees
of the Edward Richard Melina and Charlene M. Melinc Irrevocablc Living Trust Agreement No. Two dated
December 30, I992, are represented by John Jeffery Carter; Defendant Linda G. Carlson, successor to Jack
Meline, deceased, as Trustee of the Jack Meline Irrevocable Living Trust Dated December 30, I992, is
represented by Nels A. Christensen; and Defendants Ronald Rabo, Michael Rabo. Frederick Rabo, Mary Ann
Rabo Schweiger, and Susan Miller are represented by Charleton S. Pearse.

Trial in this matter commenced on February 2 I, 2017. After lhree days of trial, the parties agreed to the
compromise and settlement 0f their differences and disputes and of the Action. The compromise and settlement
was entered on the record and all parties and their attorneys of record accepted and agreed to it‘

The compromise and settlement agreement is conditioned upon [he parties obtaining access easements
lo the Range Property over an adjoining parcel, negotiation with the owners of which is now taking place. The
parties‘ attorneys have negotiated with the owners of the adjoining properly in an effort to oblain these easements
for approximately two years. However, late lasl year a conceptual settlement was reached subject lo such being
formalized in a written and recorded easement agreement‘ The parties’ attorneys have recently agreed to a draft
0f such, and itwill be circulated to the adjoining parce1’s owner for review and hoped for acceptance. In the
event i1is not accepted, itis quite likely litigation shall be necessary. In such event, the compromise and
settlement shall be on hold pending the outcome of such litigation.

Accordingly, counsel respectively request continuance of this Conference for al leasl 180 days, at which
time, it is hoped, lhe matter finally will be concluded.
