EX PARTE APPLICATION Pursuant to Local Rule 83.3(h.1), Defendant BEVERLY NITTI hereby requests that the Early Neutral Evaluation Conference ("ENE") currently scheduled for August 26, 2008 at 2:00 p.m., be continued until the week of September 8, 2008. This request is necessary because Defendant had pre-existing plans to visit her elderly parents, who have been experiencing health problems in Nebraska, commencing August 22, 2008. Additionally, Defendants RANDSTAD HR SOLUTIONS, and RANDSTAD NORTH AMERICA, LP (collectively "Randstad Defendants") request that they be relieved of the obligation to attend the proceedings, as they are being fully indemnified in this matter by L'Oréal USA, Inc. ("L'Oréal"). A L'Oréal representative will be in attendance at the ENE, and have full authority to settle on behalf of the Randstad Defendants. DATED: August 5, 2008 Respectfully Submitted, PAUL, HASTINGS, JANOFSKY & WALKER LLP MARY C. DOLLARHIDE CATHERINE E. CAOUETTE

DECLARATION OF MARY C. DOLLARHIDE
I, Mary C. Dollarhide, declare and state as follows: 1. I have personal knowledge of the facts contained in this Declaration, and if

called as a witness, could and would testify as to their accuracy. 2. I am an attorney licensed to practice and admitted before all courts of the

State of California. I am a partner in the law firm of Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP, counsel for Defendants BEVERLY NITTI, RANDSTAD HR SOLUTIONS, and

RANDSTAD NORTH AMERICA, LP ("Defendants") in this action.
3. I submit this declaration in support of Defendants' Ex Parte Application to

Continue Early Neutral Evaluation Conference. 4. I am informed and believe that Defendant BEVERLY NITTI will not be

available to attend the ENE currently scheduled for August 26, 2008 due to pre-existing travel plans to visit her elderly parents, who have been experiencing health problems in Nebraska. 5. I notified Plaintiff's counsel, Patrick F. O'Connor, Esq., of this Ex Parte

Application by telephoning his office and leaving a voice mail message on August 5, 2008, at 11:35 a.m. notifying him that Defendants are filing this Ex Parte Application per the instructions of the Court and seeking to continue the date of the ENE. I advised Plaintiff's counsel in this voice mail message that (1) Defendant Nitti was unavailable on August 26, 2008 due to her preexisting travel plans; (2) that the Randstad Defendants would also not be present at the ENE due to being indemnified by L'Oréal; and (3) that L'Oréal would be present on behalf of the Randstad Defendants. I declare under penalty of perjury, under the laws of the United States of America and the State of California, that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed this 5th day of August, 2008, at San Diego, California. /s/Mary C. Dollarhide MARY C. DOLLARHIDE
