STIPULATION AND ORDER TO 

RESCHEDULE RULE 26(f) 

CONFERENCE 

AS MODIFIED BY THE COURT 

Defendant Apex Directional Drilling, LLC, and Plaintiff MP Nexlevel of California, Inc 

through their attorneys of record, stipulate as follows: 

1. Pursuant to Judge Mendez's Order, Dkt. 16, the parties are required to meet and 

confer within 60 days of the service of the complaint as required by Rule 26(f) to prepare and 

submit to the Court a joint status report and discovery plan. 

2. Defendant Apex has filed a motion to dismiss, presently set for hearing on 

September 17, 2014 (Dkt. 18). The parties have met and conferred, and agree that postponing the 

Rule 26(f) conference and preparation of the required joint status report until after the Court rules 

on the pending motion is in their collective interest and would save time and resources. 

3. If Apex's motion is denied, the parties request that the Court schedule the 

Mandatory Scheduling Conference no sooner than sixty (60) days after issuing its decision, and 

the parties agree they will then proceed to conduct the required meet and confer and would have
