STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO 

CONTINUE THE CASE MANAGEMENT 

CONFERENCE, CASE NO. 05-5056 PJH 

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO CONTINUE THE CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE 

 WHEREAS, a Case Management Conference was scheduled in this case for August 2, 

2007; 

 WHEREAS, the parties requested, and this Court ordered, that the Case Management 

Conference originally set for August 2, 2007 be continued until November 29, 2007, to allow the 

parties time to complete a scheduled mediation on October 16, 2007; 

 WHEREAS, as set forth in the Joint ADR Status Report filed on November 14, 2007, the 

parties participated in a mediation session before mediator Hunter Hughes on October 16, 2007, 

exchanged information, and concluded that more work was necessary for a full evaluation of the 

claims and defenses in this action. The parties were therefore unable to resolve the case at that 

time; 

 WHEREAS, Mediator Hughes recommended that the parties engage in further mediation 

sessions; 

 WHEREAS, the parties intend to engage in a further mediation session in March 2008, 

well before Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification is due on July 30, 2008; 

 WHEREAS, the parties believe that the Case Management Conference, currently set for 

November 29, 2007, will be more productive and efficient if held after the continued mediation; 

 WHEREAS, from the perspective of the parties and counsel, there are no issues which 

require a case management conference or the Court’s assistance at this time; 

 THEREFORE, the parties hereby stipulate, and request that the Court order, that the Case 

Management Conference be continued to April 24, 2008, after the next mediation session is held.
