 WHEREAS, all parties jointly request that the Court 1) hold a telephonic Case 

Management Conference to set a schedule in this action, and 2) extend the date by which 

Defendant must answer Plaintiffs’ complaint for the reasons set forth below; 

WHEREAS, on September 11, 2019, the parties jointly submitted an initial Case 

Management Conference Statement (ECF 51), in which they requested that the Court not 

set a case schedule until after ruling on the Motion to Dismiss (ECF 37) filed by Wells 

Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo” or “Defendant”); 

WHEREAS, on October 24, 2019, the Court heard argument on Defendant’s 

Motion to Dismiss, but did not hold a Case Management Conference or set any case 

deadlines (ECF 54); 

WHEREAS, on April 7, 2020, the Court issued an Order granting in part and 

denying in part Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss (ECF 62); 

WHEREAS the Court’s Order sustained Plaintiffs’ claims for aiding and abetting 

fraud and aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty, and dismissed Plaintiffs’ claim 

for negligence with leave to amend; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs do not intend to amend their complaint incorporating 

additional allegations at this time, and have so informed Wells Fargo; 

WHEREAS, the time is now ripe for the Court to hold a Case Management 

Conference and set dates for further proceedings in this matter; 

WHEREAS, due to the global pandemic and uncertainty about when courts will 

re-open, and when travel by out-of-state attorneys will be safe and feasible, the parties 

respectfully request that the Case Management Conference be held telephonically; 

WHEREAS, Defendant has requested an additional 14 days through and 

including May 5, 2020 to answer Plaintiffs’ complaint, and Plaintiffs have agreed to the 

extension; 

THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE, AND REQUEST THAT 

THE COURT SO ORDER:
