Case No. C 10-03190 EDL 506753.01

WHEREAS, Flagstar’s complaint against defendants was originally filed in Michigan

WHEREAS, on June 3, and June 7, 2010, Flagstar and defendants 1350 Escondido 

Coastal LLC and Westlake Coastal LLC (hereinafter jointly referred to as the 

“Escondido/Westlake Defendants”) stipulated to extend the Escondido/Westlake Defendants’ 

time to respond to Flagstar’s complaint and Judge Cohn in the Eastern District of Michigan 

entered these stipulations as orders; 

WHEREAS, on June 16, 2010, the Escondido/Westlake Defendants filed a Motion to 

Dismiss, or Alternatively, to Transfer Venue regarding Flagstar’s complaint (“Motion to 

Dismiss”); 

WHEREAS, on June 30, 2010, Flagstar and the Escondido/Westlake Defendants 

stipulated to extend Flagstar’s time to respond to the Escondido/Westlake Defendants’ Motion to 

Dismiss to July 21, 2010 and Judge Cohn in the Eastern District of Michigan entered this 

stipulation as an order; 

WHEREAS, on July 15, 2010, Judge Cohn in the Eastern District of Michigan granted 

certain defendants’ motion to transfer venue and ordered that this action be transferred to the

action on July 21, 2010; 

WHEREAS, this Court set its initial case management conference to occur on November

ORDER AND STIP. RE: FLAGSTAR’S OPP. TO ESCONDIDO/WESTLAKE’S MTN TO DISMISS, OR 

ALTERNATIVELY, TO TRANSFER VENUE RE: FLAGSTAR’S COMPLAINT 

Case No. C 10-03190 EDL 506753.01

WHEREAS, Flagstar’s and the Escondido/Westlake Defendants’ counsel have met and 

conferred to determine what portions of their previously filed Motion to Dismiss remain at issue 

and the Escondido/Westlake Defendants provided Flagstar with final confirmation on this issue 

on August 5, 2010; 

WHEREAS, extending the deadline for Flagstar to respond to this Motion to Dismiss will 

not change any currently set hearing dates because this Court has not yet set a hearing date for 

the Escondido/Westlake Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss; 

WHEREAS, the parties seek this extension of time pursuant to Local Rules 6-1 and 6-2 

because Flagstar and the Escondido/Westlake Defendants have each been working towards 

obtaining California-based counsel for this action; 

WHEREAS, the parties seek this extension of time pursuant to Local Rules 6-1 and 6-2 

because Flagstar recently determined that its California counsel for this action will be Keker & 

Van Nest LLP and Flagstar is now in process of retaining Keker & Van Nest LLP; 

WHEREAS, the parties seek this extension of time pursuant to Local Rules 6-1 and 6-2 

because Flagstar’s lead California lawyer for this action, Rachael Meny of Keker & Van Nest, 

will be on vacation from August 6, 2010 until August 24, 2010; 

NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES STIPULATE AS FOLLOWS, SUBJECT TO THE 

COURT’S APPROVAL: 

1. Flagstar will serve its opposition papers regarding the Escondido/Westlake 

Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss on August 25, 2010. 

2. The Escondido/Westlake Defendants will serve their reply papers regarding the 

Escondido/Westlake Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss on September 15, 2010. 

3. The parties request that the Court schedule argument regarding the 

Escondido/Westlake Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss thereafter, on any date other than 

September 28, 2010.
