Exhibit “A”
Though submitted by counsel 0n behalf of defendants Randall C. Meline and Joan Sloner, as Co-
Trustees of the Edward Richard Meline and Charlene M. Meline Irrevocable Trust dated December 30, I992,
all other parties lo this Action join in this Case Management Statement as they have done in the recent past.
The parties l0 this 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 has been generally consensually referred to the Hon. Noel H. Watkins, Judge (Rel‘d) as referee by
stipulation of the parties and order entered thereon 0n November 5, 20l3, and he is now presiding over it.
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. Jessee, and Melanie G.
Edgington are represented by Aaron W. Moore; Defendants Randall C. Meline and Joan Stoner, as Co-Truslees
of the Edward Richard Meline and Charlene M. Melina lrrevocable Living Trust Agreement N0. Two dated
December 30, I992, are represented by John Jeffery Carter; Defendant Linda G. Carlson, successor l0 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 Charlelon S. Pearse.
Trial in this matter commenced on February 21, 2017. After three days of trial, the parties agrced to the
compromise and settlement of their differences and disputes and of the Action‘ The compromise and settlement
was entered 0n the record and all parties and their allomeys 0f record accepted and agreed lo it.
The compromise and settlement agreement is conditioned upon the parties obtaining access easements
to the Range Property over an adjoining parcel, negotiation with the owners of which is now taking place. The
parties‘ allomeys have negotiated with the owners of the adjoining propeny in an effort l0 obtain these easements
for well over a year. To date, these negotiations have not been successful, and while one last effort will be made
lo obtain access easements through negotiation, it is quite likely litigation
shall be necessary. In such event, the
compromise and settlement shall be on hold pending the outcome of such litigation,
Presently Judge Watkins retains authority lo resolve any disputes among lhe parties over any specific
terms and conditions 0f the parties’ compromise and setilcmem. Judge Watkins has and will continue lo set
regular and routine status conferences with counsel to assure progress towards formalization of the parties’
agreement. If the condition precedent to the parties‘ compromise and settlement agreement cannol be satisfied.
it is presumed Judge Watkins will act as necessary to move this action to conclusion, including possibly resuming
trial of the matter.
Accordingly, counsel respectively request conlinuance of this Conference for at least 180 days, at which
time, it is hoped, the matter finally will be concluded.
