I STIPULATION AND ORDER REQUESTING CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE 

2 Defendants and Counter-Plaintiffs Deepak Mehta, Kiran Mehta, Mehta Enterprises, Inc., 

3 and Deepak Enterprises, Inc. (collectively "Defendants" or the "Mehtas"), and Plaintiff and 

4 Counter-Defendant Jack in the Box Inc. ("JIB") (collectively, the "Parties"), stipulate as follows: 

5 I. On April23, 2015 JIB filed a Motion For Summary Judgment And/Or Partial 

6 Summary Judgment (the "Summary Judgment Motion"), which was heard by this Court on 

7 May 28,2015. (Docket Nos. 205, 248). 

8 2. This Court has not yet issued a ruling on the Summary Judgment Motion, which9 if granted- would resolve all or part of the Parties' claims in this case. If not granted, the Parties 

I 0 would need to prepare for trial. The uncertainty surrounding this Court's ruling on the Summary 

II Judgment Motion places the underlying restaurants in an indeterminate status and adversely 

12 impacts both Parties because the Parties do not have an adjudication oftheir rights, if any, under 

13 the Franchise and Lease Agreements. Moreover, the nature, scope and direction of any 

14 settlement discussions between the Parties will be impacted significantly by this Court's ruling. 

15 As a result, the Parties placed their settlement discussions (as well as their completion of 

16 discovery) on hold pending a ruling on the Summary Judgment Motion. 

17 3. To allow the Parties to make the necessary preparations going forward with 

18 respect to the underlying restaurants, settlement, and other issues, the Parties request that this 

19 Court provide some guidance as to when it will rule on the Summary Judgment Motion. 

20 Pursuant to Local Rules 7 -II and 7-12, the Parties request that this Court schedule a Case 

21 Management Conference so that the Parties can discuss the status of this case. Because counsel 

22 for both parties practice outside of the Northern District of California, the Parties request that 

23 they be petmitted to appear at the Case Management Conference by telephone.
