JOINT STIP TO CONTINUE HEARING ON MOTION TO DISMISS COUNTERCLAIM; [PROPOSED] ORDER

RECITALS

On October 17, 2016, Plaintiff/Counter-Defendants JOLI GRACE, LLC, STACIE 

LANCASTER, LOVE GRACE HOLDINGS, INC. AND ARTHUR LANCASTER (CounterDefendants) filed a motion to dismiss counterclaim. The motion is currently set for hearing on 

October 31, 2016.

Counsel for Plaintiff/Counter-Defendants has a scheduling conflict with the current 

hearing date. Defendant/Counter-Claimant is willing to continue the date of the hearing to 

accommodate this scheduling conflict so long as the briefing schedule for the Motion remains 

based on the initial hearing date, and Counter Defendants do not seek to change the November 

14, 2016 hearing date on Defendant’s Motion for a Preliminary Injunction. 

STIPULATION

The Parties stipulate to vacate the hearing date of October 31, 2016, and continue the

motion hearing to November 28, 2016. The deadline to file any reply papers shall not move and 

shall be based on the original hearing date, and Counter-Defendants will not seek to change the 

hearing date on Defendant’s Motion for a Preliminary Injunction.
