1 JOINT STATUS REPORT AND STIPULATION REGARDING 

AUGUST 29, 2016 SCHEDULING CONFERENCE

CASE NO.: 2:15-CV-01908-WBS-DB

JOINT STATUS REPORT AND STIPULATION REGARDING

AUGUST 29, 2016 SCHEDULING CONFERENCE

Pursuant to the Court’s June 24, 2016 Minute Order, plaintiff CE Resource, Inc. d/b/a 

NetCE (“NetCE”) and defendants Elite Continuing Education, Inc. (“Elite”) and Alpine 

Management Resources III, LLC (“Alpine’) are scheduled to appear before the Court on Monday, 

August 29, 2016 at 1:30 p.m. for a Scheduling Conference. In discussions leading to the 

preparation of this submission, all parties agreed, and hereby propose, to continue the stay in place 

for this matter. The parties also propose, subject to the Court’s approval, that the upcoming August 

29, 2016 Scheduling Conference be taken off calendar and rescheduled as appropriate after the 

parties submit an updated Joint Status Report sixty days from now. 

Summary of Case and Need for Continued Stay

On May 18, 2016, the Court entered an order staying this action pending a determination of 

NetCE’s motion to dismiss, stay, or transfer the related and first-filed declaratory judgment action 

in the United States District Court in the Southern District of Florida (the “Florida Court”) 

captioned Jouria v. CE Resource, Inc. d/b/a CME Resource and NetCE, Civ. No. 15-61165 (S.D. 

Fla.) (the “Florida Action”). On June 1, 2016, NetCE filed a Motion for Leave to Lift Stay 

Temporarily in Order to Consider Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint and Motion for Leave to 

Amend Complaint (“NetCE’s Motion to Lift Stay”).

On June 24, 2016, the Court issued a minute order continuing the Scheduling Conference 

until August 29, 2016 at 1:30 p.m., and directing the parties to file a Joint Status Report no later 

than August 15, 2016.

On July 6, 2016, the Court entered an order denying NetCE’s Motion to Lift Stay. In that 

order, the Court noted that the stay would remain in effect to allow the Florida Court to rule on 

NetCE’s motion to dismiss, stay, or transfer the Florida Action. NetCE’s motion in the Florida 

Action has not been renewed. Accordingly, proceeding with the Scheduling Conference on August 

29, 2016 would defeat the purpose of the stay in this action.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and among all
