STIPULATION AND ORDER EXTENDING TIME TO RESPOND TO COMPLAINT; CASE NO.: 2:14-CV-01380-TLN-AC

RECITALS

WHEREAS, CSPA commenced this action with the filing of its Complaint on June 9, 2014; 

WHEREAS, by letter dated September 26, 2014, CSPA asked Dragon to waive service of 

summons; and Dragon executed a Waiver of Service of Summons on September 29, 2014; 

WHEREAS, the Parties have been engaged in discussions aimed at resolving this dispute;

WHEREAS, those discussions have been productive and are ongoing; 

WHEREAS, consistent with the progress towards settlement, the Parties previously 

stipulated and agreed to extend Dragon’s deadline to move, answer, or otherwise respond to the 

Complaint by 28 days, to and including December 23, 2014, pursuant to Local Rule 144(a); 

WHEREAS, consistent with the progress towards settlement, the Parties stipulated and 

agreed and the Court has so ordered that the Parties’ time to submit a joint status report is extended 

to and including January 23, 2014; 

WHEREAS, in light of the substantial progress the Parties have made towards settlement, the 

Parties believe it would minimize the burden on the Court and conserve the Parties’ resources to 

defer the preparation and submission of Dragon’s response to the Complaint for a short additional 

amount of time;

WHEREAS, the Parties believe that by late January, they should either have reached a 

settlement of this matter or have determined that they will be unable to agree upon terms of a 

settlement in the present posture of the dispute such that it would then be appropriate to return to a 

normal litigation posture; and 

WHEREAS, the Parties do not anticipate seeking any further extension of Dragon’s deadline 

to move, answer, or otherwise respond to the Complaint in the event a settlement is not reached, and

instead expect that Dragon would, in that event, respond to the Complaint at the expiration of the 

extension sought by this Stipulation. 

STIPULATION

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

Parties, through their respective undersigned counsel, and subject to the approval of the Court, that 

the Parties will continue working to resolve this dispute through settlement. To the extent the Parties

ORDER

Pursuant to stipulation of the Parties and for good cause shown, it is HEREBY ORDERED

that Dragon’s deadline to respond to the Complaint be, and hereby is, extended to and including 

January 23, 2015 unless the Parties have by that date submitted a proposed consent decree or other 

paper reflecting settlement of this action (in which event a response to the Complaint shall not be 

necessary pending any required Court action on the proposed settlement). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
