STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER Case No.2:07 CV 01818 GEB DAD 

 

Whereas Local Rule 16-160 calls for dispositional documents to be filed 

within twenty (“20”) days following a Notice of Settlement; and 

Whereas Plaintiff and Excellus have reached a settlement in principle and 

anticipate a final executed settlement agreement will be completed within twenty 

(“20”) days of the filing of this stipulation; 

Now therefore, Dameron and Excellus, by and through their respective 

counsel, hereby stipulate to move the due date for Dameron to file dispositional 

documents related to its settlement with Excellus from April 7, 2008 to April 28, 

2008. 

Good cause exists for continuing the due date for dispositional documents 

regarding Excellus to April 28, 2008 because Dameron has reached a settlement 

with Excellus that is dispositive of this matter as to Excellus, and anticipates that a 

final executed settlement and release allowing dismissal of Excellus will be 

completed on or before April 28, 2008. 

A proposed order is being filed concurrently herewith. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
