The parties who have appeared in this matter, Plaintiff G & G Closed Circuit

Events, LLC and Defendant Oscar Aguilar state the following:

1. WHEREAS a conference is currently set for October 13, 2021 in this 

matter. 

2. WHEREAS Defendant alleges that he received via internet streaming 

video the television programming to which Plaintiff claims commercial licensing

rights at issue in this matter. 

3. WHEREAS Plaintiff is the appellant in the matter G & G Closed 

Circuits Events, LLC v. Snukal, et al., 9th Cir. C.A. Case No. 21-55488, currently 

on appeal before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

4. WHEREAS on September 21, 2021, Plaintiff filed Notices of Appeal in 

the matters styled, G & G Closed Circuits Events, LLC v. Reto, C.D. Cal. Case No.

2:19-cv-07915-WDK-JC and G & G Closed Circuits Events, LLC v. Liu, C.D. Cal. 

Case No. 2:19-cv-07896-WDK-JC. 

5. WHEREAS the central issue on appeal in Snukal, Reto, and Liu is 

whether receipt and publication of television programming via internet streaming 

video violates Title 47 U.S.C. Section 553 and/or 605. 

6. WHEREAS Defendant has informed Plaintiff that he intends to assert 

that receipt and publication of television programming via internet streaming video 

does not violate Title 47 U.S.C. Section 553 and/or 605 as a defense in this matter.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties, by and through 

their attorneys of record that, in the interest in judicial economy, and to avoid the 

unnecessary expenditure of the parties’ time and resources and the prospect of 

another appeal, this matter should be stayed until such time that the Ninth Circuit 

Court of Appeals issues a ruling in Snukal, Reto, and Liu, or any of them. The 

parties believe that once the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rules on those appeals, 

they will know their respective rights and obligations under Title 47 U.S.C. Section 

553 and/or 605.
