dismissed very soon). At the Pretrial conference held on September 26, 2016, the parties advised 

the Court that they intended to return to retired Judge Raul Ramirez ("Judge Ramirez") for a 

second session of private mediation (the first session having been held on August 16, 2016); 

however, the parties learned on September 28, 2016 Judge Ramirez's mediation calendar may not 

allow for suitable availability. Therefore, the parties to this stipulation request referral to a sitting 

magistrate judge who can conduct a settlement conference on October 13, 2016 (a date on which 

all parties, representatives, and counsel are available) or another agreeable date no later than 

October 14, 2016. The parties are amenable to any available magistrate judge, including the 

magistrate judge assigned to this case. Accordingly, the parties are also submitting the Waiver of 

Disqualification form.

Joshua E. Kirsch, attests that approval from all counsel has been obtained in authorization 

of the submission of this document on their behalf.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
