CASE NO. CV 07-02839 CRB

Action Filed: May 31, 2007

Assigned to Hon. Charles R. Breyer

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED]

ORDER CONTINUING HEARING

ON CROSS-MOTIONS FOR

SUMMARY JUDGMENT

The parties hereto, through their respective counsel of record, stipulate as

follows: 

1. On or about October 9, 2007, counsel for both parties participated in a

telephone conference with the court’s ADR office in order to discuss alternative dispute

resolution measures for this case. Both parties indicated a preference for a settlement

conference with a magistrate judge, and the ADR officer presiding, after considering

the parties’ respective positions, concurred.

2. The parties filed a Stipulation and Proposed Order referring the case to a

magistrate judge for settlement conference on November 14, 2007. [docket no. 22]

3. This court entered an order referring this matter to a magistrate judge for

a settlement conference on November 15, 2007. [docket no. 23]

4. On November 26, 2007 the case was referred to Magistrate Judge

Elizabeth D. Laporte for a settlement conference.

5. Due to scheduling difficulties, the parties have not yet participated in a

settlement conference, notwithstanding their desire to do so. 

6. Judge Laporte is available for a settlement conference with the parties on

March 6, 2008. All involved counsel and parties are likewise available for a settlement

conference that day. 

7. The parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment are currently noticed

and scheduled to be heard on February 29, 2008, per this court’s civil minutes dated

October 12, 2007. [docket no. 21]

8. The parties believe proceeding with the hearing as scheduled will likely

hinder the parties’ efforts to resolve this case at the settlement conference. Further,

proceeding with the currently scheduled hearing on the cross-motions for summary

judgment will require the parties to incur additional time and expense, which could

negatively impact the ability of the parties to settle.

date after March 6, 2008. The parties will submit no further briefing in connection with

said motions.
