STIPULATION AND ORDER TO POSTPONE 

CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE 1 Case No. C 05-2749 CW 

STIPULATION

Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 6-2 and 7-11, Plaintiff Cutera, Inc. (“Cutera”) on the 

one hand and Defendants Palomar Medical Technologies, Inc. and the General Hospital 

Corporation (collectively “Defendants”) on the other hand, through their respective counsel of 

record, state as follows: 

WHEREAS, 

1. By Order entered September 2, 2005 (“the Stay Order”), this Court stayed 

the instant action pending resolution of Cutera’s Motion to Dismiss (“the Motion”) in Palomar 

Medical Technologies, Inc. and The General Hospital Corporation v. Cutera, Inc., Civil Action 

No. 05-CV-10683-RWZ (“the Massachusetts Action”). Such stay is without prejudice to the 

Defendants to seek a further stay of the instant action if Cutera’s Motion is denied; 

2. By Stipulation And Order To Postpone Case Management Conference 

entered November 1, 2005, the Case Management Conference (“CMC”) in the instant action was 

rescheduled from November 4, 2005 to January 6, 2006, because the Order to Stay kept the CMC 

on calendar but permitted the parties to postpone the CMC by 60 days if there had been no ruling 

in the Massachusetts Action; 

3. By Stipulation And Order To Postpone Case Management Conference 

entered December 27, 2005, the CMC was rescheduled from January 6, 2006 to March 10, 2006, 

because the Order to Stay kept the CMC on calendar but permitted the parties to postpone the 

CMC by 60 days if there had been no ruling in the Massachusetts Action; 

4. Under Civil Local Rule 16-9, as well as Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 26(f), the parties would normally submit a Case Management Statement and a Rule 

26(f) report prior to a CMC; 

5. There has been no ruling on Cutera’s Motion in the Massachusetts Action; 

6. The parties do not know when a ruling might issue in the Massachusetts 

Action, or what that ruling might be, and therefore do not have sufficient information to prepare 

and submit a Case Management Statement or a Rule 26(f) report; and

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO POSTPONE 

CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE 2 Case No. C 05-2749 CW 

7. Because there has been no ruling in the Massachusetts Action to date, the 

parties desire, and seek the Court’s permission, to continue the CMC currently scheduled for 

March 10, 2006, for approximately another 60 days.

THEREFORE, Cutera and Defendants NOW STIPULATE AND AGREE to 

continue the CMC to May 12, 2006, at 1:30 p.m. or such other date and time as the Court may 

elect.
