STIPULATION VACATING HEARING DATE (Case No. C-05-4077 MMC)

WHEREAS the parties to the above-captioned action (“Action”) have agreed to participate in 

voluntary mediation in a good faith effort to achieve an informal resolution of the Action; and 

WHEREAS Defendants have requested that the hearing of Plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary 

injunction, originally noticed for December 9, 2005, be vacated so that Defendants will not be placed 

in the position of having to prepare and file opposition papers before the mediation or, in the event 

the mediation is unsuccessful, to accommodate previously scheduled vacations of Defendants’ 

counsel; and 

WHEREAS Plaintiffs have consented to Defendants’ request in the interest of maximizing 

the possibility of an informal settlement of this dispute and as a professional courtesy to Defendants’ 

counsel: 

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between the 

parties to this action, by and through their respective undersigned counsel, as follows: 

1. Defendants hereby agree that they will not assert the delay of the hearing pursuant 

hereto in any way as a ground for opposition to Plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary injunction. 

2. The hearing on plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction, currently set for 

December 9, 2005, may be VACATED and a new hearing date may be set for Friday January 27, 

2006 or as soon thereafter as the matter can be heard.
