WHEREAS, under this Court’s Stipulated Order of November 13, 2009, the 

Parties are required to file a Joint Status Report and Rule 26(b) Discovery Plan in the abovecaptioned matter by June 30, 2010; 

WHEREAS, under the Court’s Stipulated Order of November 13, 2009, 

Defendants have until June 30, 2010, to file a response to the First Amended Complaint; 

WHEREAS, the Parties continue to engage in meaningful settlement discussions, 

and believe that a further stay of the litigation until November 30, 2010 is in the best interest of 

all Parties, will promote judicial efficiency, and will reduce litigation costs because it will allow 

the Parties to focus on such discussions; 

WHEREAS, for these reasons, the Parties jointly seek this Court’s Order to stay 

the litigation until November 30, 2010, and to establish new dates for the filing of the Joint Status 

Report and for Defendants’ response to the First Amended Complaint; 

THEREFORE: 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the Plaintiffs and Defendants that 

1. Subject only to paragraph 4 below, the action be stayed until November 30, 

2010, including all obligations pursuant to Rule 26, and any obligation to respond to the First 

Amended Complaint. 

2. Subject only to paragraph 4 below, the Joint Status Report is due on 

December 28, 2010. 

3. Subject only to paragraph 4 below, Defendants shall have until January 10, 

2011, to respond to the First Amended Complaint. 

4. If any party determines that the settlement discussions are not sufficiently 

productive, the party may file and serve a request that the stay be lifted, and the stay shall be 

lifted sixty (60) days after the Court issues an Order lifting the stay. If the stay is lifted prior to 

November 30, 2010, the Court will set the last day for Defendants to file their responsive 

pleadings, and the last day for the parties to file their Joint Status Report, for a day no less than 

thirty (30) days after the stay is lifted.
