Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 7-12 and 16-2, Plaintiffs and Defendant hereby request that 

the initial Case Management Conference scheduled for April 28, 2010 be continued for 60 days. 

Plaintiffs and Defendant are in the process of attempting to resolve this matter. Plaintiffs filed the 

original Complaint and Petition to Confirm in this action on July 9, 2008. On or around November 

2008, Defendant agreed to allow Plaintiffs’ auditors to audit their records to determine whether any 

amounts were due and owing as a result of the audit. Plaintiffs thereafter conducted an audit of 

Defendant’s records and found a number of delinquencies owed by Defendant. On or around 

February 2009, Plaintiffs submitted their audit findings to Defendant to allow Defendant the 

opportunity to review those results and challenge any delinquencies it believed were in error. After 

receiving no response from Defendant, Plaintiffs filed their First Amended Complaint for Petition 

to Confirm Arbitration Award, Breach of Contract, Damages, and Breach of Fiduciary Duty on 

May 7, 2009. On or around May 15, 2009, Plaintiffs received documentation from Defendant. On 

or around June 3, 2009, Plaintiffs were notified that Defendant had retained legal counsel on or 

around May 21, 2009. On June 4, at the request of the parties, the Court granted Defendant an 

extension of time to answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint to July 

31, 2009. The parties thereafter stipulated to two additional extensions of time for Defendant to 

answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint to August 31, 2009 and 

September 9, 2009, respectively. Defendant timely answered on September 9, 2009.

As a result of the documentation that Defendant submitted to Plaintiffs, Plaintiffs have 

made adjustments to the audit worksheets. Plaintiffs and Defendant are currently engaged in a 

review of the revised audit worksheets and are attempting to resolve the matter without further 

litigation. The parties have requested prior continuances of the Case Management Conference. A 

further continuance would promote judicial efficiency because the parties are very close to 

reaching a settlement and anticipate they will reach a settlement in this matter within the next 60

days.
