JOINT REQUEST TO STAY FURTHER CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

 On February 16, 2010, the Parties attended Settlement Conference before the Honorable 

James Larson, Magistrate. At that conference the Parties agreed to, and entered into on the 

record, a settlement agreement. Since February 16, 2010, the Parties have been working to 

achieve final documentation of the settlement terms and to agree on the terms of the license 

agreement. 

 On March 19, 2010, the Court entered the Parties’ stipulation extending the time to 

achieve final documentation of the agreement until April 7, 2010. (Dkt. 87.) 

 In light of the Parties’ ongoing discussions and efforts to reach a final agreement, the 

further Case Management Conference and joint supplemental case management statement may 

be unnecessary. Therefore, the Parties request that the further Case Management Conference 

and joint supplemental case management statement be stayed.
