28 Z-Line Designs, Inc. v. Sauder Woodworking Co. 

JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER FOR MODIFICATION OF INITIAL 

CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE DATE 

CASE NO. CV-10-1735 SI 2

 On July 23, 2010, the Court noticed the Initial Case Management Conference for August 4, 

2010. Pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-3, 16-2(d), and 7-12, Plaintiff Z-Line Designs, Inc. (“Z-Line” or 

“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Sauder Woodworking, Inc. (“Sauder” or “Defendant”) jointly request 

that the Initial Case Management Conference be continued to August 25, 2010, or such other date as 

set by the Court. 

 The parties are presently and productively engaged in settlement discussions and believe 

that a brief continuance of the case management schedule will facilitate settlement efforts. 

Additionally, Defendant’s response to the Complaint is not yet due, having been continued to 

August 2, 2010, by agreement of the parties. 

 This continuance will not alter any other case management dates. Counsel for the parties 

believe that the requested continuance will allow the parties and counsel to continue to devote their 

attention and resources to a final resolution of this matter. 

 ACCORDINGLY, the parties, by and through their undersigned counsel, request that the 

Initial Case Management Conference be continued to August 25, 2010, at 10:00 a.m. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED BY THE PARTIES. 

DATED: July 27, 2010 Respectfully submitted,
