STIPULATION

WHEREAS, on March 11, 2010, plaintiff Marc Black filed a Complaint against Troy 

Stafford, Patrick Williams, and WS Seafood Investment Limited Liability Corporation 

(collectively, “Defendants”); 

WHEREAS, on April 19, 2010, the parties stipulated to an extension of time until April 

29, 2010 for Defendants to respond to the Complaint, as Defendants, citizens of the State of 

Alaska, had recently retained California counsel in this Action and desired to determine whether a 

resolution of the dispute was possible; 

WHEREAS, the parties thereafter agreed to engage a mediator to explore whether a 

resolution was possible and entered into a stipulated order providing that Defendants were not 

obligated to answer or otherwise respond to the complaint until June 14, 2010; 

WHEREAS, the parties have now elected to submit their dispute to the Court's Voluntary 

Dispute Resolution Program pursuant to Local Rule 271(e)(1); 

WHEREAS, the Clerk of Court has appointed Matthew Jacobs as mediator, and the 

mediation is scheduled for July 28, 2010; 

WHEREAS, if the case does not resolve on or before July 28, 2010, plaintiff intends to 

file an amended complaint on or before August 13, 2010; 

WHEREAS, the parties agree that Defendants shall have until September 13, 2010 or 30 

days from the date an amended complaint is filed, whichever date occurs first, to answer or 

otherwise respond to the complaint and/or amended complaint; 

WHEREAS, the agreed-upon schedule is not for the purpose of delay, promotes judicial 

efficiency, and will not cause prejudice to any party; 

THEREFORE, IT IS STIPULATED AND AGREED by Plaintiff Marc Black and 

Defendants, through their respective counsel of record, that Plaintiff shall, if necessary, file an 

amended complaint on or before August 13, 2010 and that Defendants shall answer or otherwise 

respond to the complaint and/or amended complaint, if necessary, within 30 days of the date the 

amended complaint is filed or on or before September 13, 2010, whichever date occurs first.
