CASE NO. C 06-01631 PJH 

(Related to Case No. C 05-04656 PJH) 

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

REFERRING PARTIES IN BEST BUY II TO 

SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE AND 

CONTINUING CASE MANAGEMENT 

CONFERENCE 

Current CMC: Sep. 6, 2007 

Requested Settlement Conf.: Oct. 17, 2007 

Defendants Best Buy Enterprise Services, Inc., Best Buy Co., Inc. (collectively, “Best Buy”), 

Sprint Corporation (“Sprint”), and AMC Entertainment, Inc. (“AMC”) (collectively, “Defendants”), 

along with Plaintiff Gee Jeffery & Partners Advertising, Inc. (“GJP”), submit the following 

stipulation and proposed order: 

1. Following this Court’s April 18, 2007 Order granting Defendants’ motions for 

judgment on the pleadings with respect to GJP’s copyright claims, the parties have been engaged in 

active discussions to resolve the entire case. The case management conference in this case has been 

continued twice to allow those discussions to develop – currently, the case management conference 

is set for September 6, 2007.

2. The parties have made progress in their settlement discussions and have now reached 

the point where they believe it would be helpful to participate in a settlement conference before a 

Magistrate Judge. Previously, this Court had referred the parties to Magistrate Judge Spero, but the 

parties did not conduct a settlement conference because the motions for judgment on the pleadings 

were still pending. 

3. The parties have confirmed that Magistrate Judge Spero, as well the parties’ counsel 

and principals with settlement authority, are available for a settlement conference in San Francisco 

on October 17, 2007. 

THEREFORE, the undersigned counsel to all parties in this case hereby request that this 

Court (a) refer the parties to a settlement conference before Magistrate Judge Spero, on October 17, 

2007 or as soon thereafter as the conference can be conducted; and (b) continue the case 

management conference in this case to a date approximately 30 days after the settlement conference. 

In accordance with General Order 45(X)(B), counsel for Best Buy and Sprint attests that 

concurrence in the filing of this stipulation and proposed order has been obtained from counsel for 

the other parties to this case. 

Respectfully submitted,
