the following Stipulation and [Proposed] Order Continuing the Initial Case Management 

Conference currently set for September 25, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. 

FACTUAL BACKGROUND TO THE PARTIES’ STIPULATION 

In support of this stipulation, the undersigned Parties provide the following facts, which 

are verified in the supporting Declaration of Michael P. Kniffen: 

1. On March 31, 2015, the Commission filed the Complaint in this action.

(ECF No. 1.)

(ECF No. 5.) 

3. On April 17, 2015, the Court set an Initial Case Management Conference for 

June 26, 2015. (ECF No. 6.) 

4. On May 29, 2015, the parties filed a Stipulation and [Proposed] Scheduling Order, 

which requested an early settlement conference. (ECF No. 13.) 

5. On June 4, 2015, the Court granted the parties’ request for a settlement conference 

and rescheduled the Initial Case Management Conference for September 25, 2015. (ECF No. 15.) 

6. On June 26, 2015, the Court referred this case to Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler 

for the settlement conference. 

7. On June 29, 2015, Magistrate Judge Beeler issued an order setting a settlement 

conference date for October 13, 2015. (ECF No. 16.) 

8. On July 6, 2015, pursuant to Magistrate Judge Beeler’s order, the Commission
