STIPULATION TO CONTINUE CMC 

AND EXTEND MEDIATION DEADLINE 

Levi Strauss & Co. v. Esprit US Distribution, Ltd. 

 Case No. C 07-0910 SI 

 Counsel for the parties have now conferred by telephone with the mediator regarding 

scheduling. Due to scheduling conflicts, the parties and mediator were unable to find a date for 

the mediation prior to the August 31, 2007, deadline. The mediation has now been scheduled 

for September 18, 2007. 

 Accordingly, due to the temporary difficulties in finding an appropriate mediator and 

scheduling a date for the mediation, the parties respectfully request that the mediation deadline 

be extended to September 21, 2007, and the further Case Management Conference now 

scheduled for September 7, 2007, be continued to September 28, 2007, at 2:30 p.m.
