[PROPOSED] ORDER EXTENDING TIME- 2 

On June 13, 2010, Petitioner CommPartners filed a Voluntary Chapter 11 

Bankruptcy Petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court, District of Nevada, Case No. 

BK-S-10-20933 (jointly administered). The bankruptcy filing did not trigger the 

automatic stay pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 362. See In re Merrick, 175 B.R. 333, 337 

(B.A.P. 9th Cir. 1994); In re Mitchell, 206 B.R. 204, 212 (Bankr. C.D. Cal. 1997). 

Although the bankruptcy filing did not result in an automatic stay of the proceeding, it 

did inject substantial uncertainty as to whether the Petitioner would elect to proceed with 

this case, and whether the undersigned counsel for CommPartners would be retained 

post-petition to continue representation of Petitioner CommPartners. 

Petitioner CommPartners and Respondent Commission agree to this Motion 

and propose the following schedule extension: 

• Commission response to Petition extended from August 4 to 

September 17, 2010; 

• Last day for all-party meeting to meet and confer on initial 

disclosures, early settlement, ADR process selection and discovery 

plan pursuant to FRCivP 26(f) and ADR L.R. 3-5 extended from 

August 10 to September 24, 2010; 

• Last day to file ADR Certification signed by Parties and Counsel 

pursuant to Civil L.R. 16-8(b) and ADR L.R. 3-5(b) extended from 

August 10 to September 24, 2010; 

• Last day to file either Stipulation to ADR Process or Notice of Need 

for ADR Phone Conference pursuant to Civil L.R. 16-8(c) and ADR 

L.R. 3-5(b) and (c) extended from August 10 to September 24, 2010; 

• Last day to file Rule 26(f) report, complete initial disclosures or state 

objection in Rule 26(f) report pursuant to FRCivP 26(a)(1) and Civil 

L.R. 16-9 extended from August 24 to October 8, 2010;
