THEREFORE, the parties jointly request that settlement proceedings in this matter 

be reassigned to Magistrate Judge Beeler, and any settlement conference scheduled by 

Judge Westmore prior to the court executing the attached proposed order be vacated. The 

parties also respectfully request 90 days rather than 60 days to complete the settlement 

conference, in order to allow enough time for initial basic discovery prior to the 

settlement conference.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
