STIPULATION TO EXTEND TIME FOR 

CMC 

[PROPOSED] ORDER 

STIPULATION

 

The parties in Chaet v. Piper Jaffray & Co., Case No. C-06-7075 PJH, (“Chaet”), by and 

through their counsel of record, stipulate as follows: 

 Pursuant to the Civil Local Rules for the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of 

California (“Local Rule”), Rules 6-1 and 6-2, the parties in the above-captioned matter (the 

“Parties”) stipulate and request a court order to stay the scheduled Case Management Conference 

(“CMC”), from March 1, 2007 to the next available date ordered by the Court after the Parties 

participate in a scheduled mediation, if the mediation does not result in a final resolution of the 

matter. At present the Parties have scheduled a mediation proceeding before David Rotman on 

May 8, 2007. 

 The Parties filed a Motion to Consider Whether Cases Should be Related (“Relatedness 

Motion”) on February 2, 2007. On February 12, 2007, the Honorable Phyllis J. Hamilton (“Judge 

Hamilton”) ruled that this matter was related to a previously filed case assigned to her, McNerney 

v. Piper Jaffray & Co., Case No. C-06-5155 PJH (“McNerney”). Pursuant to that order this 

matter was reassigned to Judge Hamilton. 

 

 The Parties filed their Joint Case Management Statement (“CMS”) on February 22, 2007. 

In their CMS, the Parties indicated to the Court that they have scheduled a mediation proceeding 

before David Rotman on May 8, 2007. This mediation will address the claims raised in both the 

McNerney and Chaet matters. In the interest of maximizing the likelihood of a meaningful 

mediation process, the Parties are conferring as to how to best prepare for mediation through the 

exchange of relevant information and documents. The Parties believe their efforts would be best 

served by devoting all of their time and resources to fully preparing and pursuing the mediation, 

including negotiation, review and analysis of produced information and documentation.

STIPULATION TO EXTEND TIME FOR 

CMC 

[PROPOSED] ORDER 

 The Parties believe the requested stay for the CMC will have a minimal effect on the 

ultimate schedule for the case (the proposed stay is little more than 60 days) and note that the trial 

date has not been set. The Parties do not want to waste the Court’s time and resources, nor incur 

unnecessary costs for the Parties, by vigorously litigating/prosecuting these actions when there 

exists a potential for fruitful mediation. 

Further, in their efforts to minimize the Court’s time and resources, the Parties request the 

Court rule on this Stipulation and Proposed Order on these papers and do not request a hearing. 

 Accordingly, the Parties, by and through their counsel, seek a court order and stipulate, as 

follows: 

 The Case Management Conference currently scheduled for March 1, 2007, will be 

stayed until after the Parties have participated in their scheduled mediation on May 8, 2007.
