TO THE COURT, ALL INTERESTED PARTIES AND ATTORNEYS OF RECORD:

1. Plaintiff SCOTT JOHNSON filed this action (known as Case No. 2:14-CV-02786-JAM-EFB) against Defendant seeking money damages and injunctive relief for, inter alia, violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the "ADA") and corresponding state law claims, as well as common law claims, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California on November 27, 2014. Defendant KIMBERLY T. LE ("Defendants") filed his Answer to the Complaint on January 7, 2015.

2. Defendant and Plaintiff (collectively sometimes referred to herein as the "Parties" or separately as a "Party") wish to settle the portion of the cases relating to issues of injunctive relief and hereby desire to enter into this Consent Decree. The Parties hereby enter into this Consent Decree and Order for the purpose of resolving certain specified aspects of the lawsuit without the need for protracted litigation, and without the admission of any liability as to: (a) the amount of damages to which Plaintiff may be entitled or (b) the amount of attorneys' fees to which Plaintiff may be entitled.

Accordingly, the Parties agree to the entry of the proposed Order related to this Consent Decree without trial or further adjudication of the issues addressed herein.

NO DISMISSAL OF ACTION REQUESTED:

5. As noted herein, monetary issues are still at issue and accordingly the Parties do not request that the Honorable Court dismiss the action as these issues may still proceed to trial.

WHEREFORE, the Parties hereby agree and stipulate to the Court's entry of this Consent Decree and Order, which provides as follows:

SETTLEMENT OF INJUNCTIVE RELIEF:

9. Timing of Injunctive Relief: Exhibit "A" also includes the estimated timeframe for completing the work described therein.
