 STIPULATION OF DISMISSAL & ORDER 09-CV-03276-PVT

WHEREAS, on March 18, 2010, the Court issued its Order Granting Defendants’ 

Motion to Dismiss and Strike, or In the Alternative, to Transfer to the District of Utah, 

ruling that a motion to dismiss based on a forum selection clause is treated as a Rule 

12(b)(3) motion to dismiss based on improper venue; 

WHEREAS, the Court requested further briefing from the parties regarding 

whether the action should be dismissed without prejudice or transferred to the District of 

Utah;

WHEREAS, on November 8, 2009, defendant Advanta Corp. filed a voluntary 

petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, staying this 

action as to Advanta Corp. (Docket No. 36); and 

WHEREAS, on March 19, 2010, the F.D.I.C. was appointed as receiver for 

defendant Advanta Bank Corp., and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 66 provides that any 

action in which “a receiver has been appointed may be dismissed only by court order;” 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED THAT the Court DISMISS the action against 

defendants Advanta Corp. and Advanta Bank Corp., without prejudice, and that the Case 

Management Conference presently scheduled for April 13, 2010, be taken off calendar.
