1 September 22, 2016, will permit more efficient case management, will serve the 

2 interests of judicial economy and will conserve party resources. 

3 Specifically, the rulings on the pending motions are determinative and will 

4 govern further proceedings in this matter. A ruling as to the appropriate forum 

5 raised by the Motion to Remand and a ruling on the certainty of the pleadings raised 

6 by the Motion for More Definite Statement are necessary before the Parties may 

7 engage in meaningful discussions required by Rule 26( f) and prepare a joint report 

8 under Rule 16. Therefore, the Parties seek to continue the Initial Case Management 

9 Conference and related deadlines pending the Court's rulings on said motions so 

1 0 they may have sufficient time to fully comply with the requirements of Rule 16. 

11 The Parties further agree that it is in the interests of efficient case 

12 management to continue pending deadlines under Civil Local Rule 16.8 and ADR 

13 Local Rule 3-5 to conform to the date of the continued Initial Case Management 

14 Conference. 

15 Ill. Stipulation
