[PROPOSED] ORDER

parties settlement negotiations, and that the Court set a Case Management Conference in ninety 

(90) days. 

Good cause exists for vacating the hearing date as the parties are currently engaged in 

settlement discussions which may obviate the need for defendants’ motion. The parties went 

through ADR and completed an ENE session on June 6, 2007. They have been diligently 

pursuing discovery with the plaintiff propounding discovery and defendants’ production of 

hundreds of documents to date. At present, depositions of the plaintiff as well as those of 

defendants and City personnel, which are necessary for making and opposing the stated motion, 

have been noticed but will be stayed if the Court issues an order to vacate the hearing date, to 

enable further settlement negotiations. 

The parties agree that they need additional time to exhaust attempts at resolution of the 

case through informal means at this time, and that this stipulation and request for an Order from 

the Court to vacate the pending hearing date is made in the spirit of cooperation and of 

conserving attorney as well as judicial resources. Should the negotiations fail, the parties will 

resume the taking of depositions and defendants will file their Motion for Summary Judgment 

as previously planned. 

To this end, the parties request that the Court continue the matter for a Case 

Management Conference in ninety (90) days.
