STIPULATION TO EXTEND TIME RE 

LEVI STRAUSS & CO’S MOTION TO 

FOR LEAVE TO AMEND AND 

PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT 

[PROPOSED ORDER] 

Pursuant to L.R. 6-2 

 

 Pursuant to Local Rule 6-2 Defendant, Esprit US Distribution, LTD, (“Esprit”) and Plaintiff 

Levi Strauss & Co. (“LS&CO”) respectfully submit this stipulated request for an Order continuing 

the hearing date for LS&CO.’s Motion for Leave to Amend and Partial Summary Judgment 

(“LS&Co’s Motion”). LS&CO.’s Motion is currently set for hearing on January 18, 2008. Esprit

has requested, and LS&CO. has agreed, subject to the Court’s approval, to continue the hearing date 

to February 1, 2008. 

 Esprit has good cause warranting a continuance of the hearing date to February 1, 2008. Due 

to the approaching Christmas holiday, counsel for Esprit will be out-of-state, and unable to 

realistically comply with the current briefing schedule. Moreover, counsel for Esprit is faced with 

communication time restraints due to the fact that their client contacts are located in Hong Kong, 

who are themselves, facing holiday scheduling constraints. LS&Co has agreed to accommodate 

Esprit’s request to continue the hearing date on LS&CO.’s Motion to February 1, 2008, due to the 

identified hardship.

 Esprit further acknowledges that LS&CO.’s pending motion for leave to amend—which 

Esprit vigorously opposes —requests that the Court extend the case management schedule in the 

event that it permits LS&CO. to file its amended complaint. Both parties agree that the schedule that 

LS&CO. proposed in its pending motion for leave to amend would be not be feasible, in the event 

that the Court grants this stipulation to continue the hearing date of LS&CO.’s Motion to February 1, 

2008. Accordingly, the parties may request that the Court, at its convenience, allow them more time 

to prepare for trial if LS&CO is granted leave to amend. 

 The parties have previously sought an extension of time to complete mediation, which was 

granted by this Court.
