The parties appeared for mediation with William Strickland on January 25, 2018. Given
21
that the plaintiffs are requesting an amount greater than the policy limit, the parties believe it

10, 2018. See Exhibit One, Letter from William R. Strickland. The parties therefore stipulated to
24
postpone the trial by sixty days to allow further mediation to take place before either side incurs

greater costs in preparing for trial.See Stipulation to Continue filed concurrently.

Re: xxxxxxx v. Ravidran, eta1.
Dear Counsel:
This confirms our mediation plan coordinated at the January 25, 201 8 session.
It became clear that it was necessary to conduct further analysis of defendant’s
ability to respond to a demand over and above the tendered policy limit. The parties
therefore agreed to exchange related documentation to be discussed at a second mediation
session scheduled for April 10, 2018.
It was also agreed that the parties would request that the Court continue the present tria1
date of April 2, 201 8 to a date at least 60 days from the scheduled second session to allow
ample time for pretrial discovery and preparation in the unlikely event the case does not
settle at that time.
I look forward to working with you toward an early conclusion to this complex litigation.
Very truly yours,
William R. Strickland
