within 60 days of service of CSPA’s Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief and Civil 

Penalties (the “Complaint”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, CSPA commenced this action with the filing of its Complaint, on June 9, 2014; 

WHEREAS, by letter dated September 26, 2014, CSPA asked Dragon to waive service of 

summons; and Dragon executed a Waiver of Service of Summons on September 29, 2014; 

WHEREAS, the Court issued its June 9 Order, which by its terms would require the Parties 

to submit their joint status report on or before November 25, 2014; 

WHEREAS, the Parties have been engaged in discussions aimed at resolving this dispute, 

and those discussions have been productive; 

WHEREAS, in light of the substantial progress the Parties have made towards settlement, the 

Parties believe it would minimize the burden on the Court and conserve the Parties’ resources to 

defer the preparation, submission and consideration of the joint status report for a short time;

WHEREAS, consistent with the progress towards settlement, the Parties have stipulated and 

agreed to extend Dragon’s deadline to move, answer, or otherwise respond to the Complaint by 28 

days, to and including December 23, 2014, pursuant to Local Rule 144(a); and

WHEREAS, the Parties believe that by late January, they should either have reached a 

settlement of this matter or have determined that they will be unable to agree upon terms of a 

settlement in the present posture of the dispute such that it would then be appropriate to return to a 

normal litigation posture.

STIPULATION

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and among the Parties, through their 

respective undersigned counsel, and subject to the approval of the Court, that the Parties will 

continue working to resolve this dispute through settlement. To the extent the Parties have not by 

then already submitted a proposed consent decree or other settlement paper to the Court, the Parties’
