1. The Parties stipulate that a discovery stay shall go into effect until the Court issues an

Order regarding Digital’s Motion to Dismiss (Dock. No. 20) set for hearing on April 30, 2015 at 1:30

p.m.

2. The Parties further stipulate that good cause exists for this stay on discovery since an

order granting Digital’s Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s second cause of action for Whistleblower claims

will materially change the factual issues requiring discovery.

3. The Parties further stipulate that no undue prejudice will be suffered by either party as a

result of the proposed discovery stay.

This stipulation is executed and filed pursuant to Local Rule 6-1(a). No prior discovery stays

have been agreed upon.

SO STIPULATED.

DATED: March 31, 2015
