Stipulation for ADR Request 

 All the named parties to the litigation, through their counsel, request that the Court 

assign this case to a Settlement Conference with a Magistrate Judge under Local Rule 16-8(c) 

and ADR Local Rule 7. The parties respectfully request that the Settlement Conference be held 

before either the Honorable Jacqueline Scott Corley or the Honorable Sallie Kim, and occur 

during the week of May 25, 2020. In the event neither Judge Kim nor Judge Corley is available 

that week, the parties request that the Court provide the parties with the Judges’ availability, if 

any, for June 2020. The parties will then select a date from that list. 

Stipulation to Reset Case Schedule 

 In response to the Court’s February 28, 2020 Minute Entry, all the named parties to the 

litigation stipulate to the following revised case schedule. For the Court’s edification, the parties 

agreed to phase discovery before and after mediation to effectuate cost savings and increase the 

chances of settlement. Setting the mediation for the week of May 25, 2020 will allow Kevin 

Barry Fine Arts Associates (“KBFAA”) time to complete a large document search and 

production and to provide agreed-upon supplementation of earlier interrogatory responses. 

Production of these documents and service of the amended responses will occur by March 30, 

2020. Counterclaimant Ken Gangbar Studios Inc. has requested time to review these 

documents, which could be in the hundreds of thousands, before the Settlement Conference. If 

the case does not resolve at the Settlement Conference, the parties contemplate resuming and 

completing discovery, including resuming depositions, according to the below schedule. The 

parties have agreed that further depositions will be postponed until after the Settlement 

Conference.1

 All parties hereto stipulate and agree that, by executing this stipulation, Counterdefendant 

Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (“the Community”) does not waive or otherwise 

prejudice any rights it may have to assert sovereign immunity, lack of personal jurisdiction, or 

any other defense in this action. Notwithstanding its joinder to this stipulation, in the event that 

it files a motion to dismiss based on sovereign immunity, the Community intends to seek a stay 

of the proceedings as to the Community until after the motion to dismiss is fully and finally 

adjudicated.
