hereby stipulate to stay the current proceedings between them, including staying the deadline for 

Defendant’s response to Plaintiff’s Complaint that is due August 18, 2016, and all subsequent

terminate the stay and notify the opposing Party that the stay is lifted;

WHEREAS, from the date of notice that the stay is lifted, Defendant shall have twenty 

(20) days in which to answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiff’s Complaint;

NOW THEREFORE, the Parties hereby stipulate to stay all proceedings in the abovecaptioned action, absent the lifting of the stay as provided herein pending finalization of the
