In Re General Capacitor 

Case No. 16-CV- 2458 HSG Stipulation and Order

to Continue Trial Date 

WHEREAS the parties did not fully resolve the case, but they did make very significant 

progress toward that end and they wish to continue settlement efforts through Judge Kim; 

WHEREAS Judge Kim and the parties have agreed to continue the settlement conference 

to May 9, 2018, the first available date for all parties (Dkt. No. 165); 

WHEREAS General Capacitor’s Motion for Summary Judgment (Dkt. No. 139) is still 

before the trial Court, and resolution of this case would obviate the need for the Court to spend 

resources on a ruling; 

WHEREAS the parties believe that the goal of settlement would be advanced if they were 

relieved of the substantial costs of trial preparation before the May 9 settlement conference, 

WHEREAS the parties have conferred, and can each be available for trial at the earliest on 

August 13, 2018 in the event that this case does not settle; 

NOW THEREFORE, the parties respectfully request that this Court continue 

commencement of trial in this case from June 4, 2018 to any time after August 12, 2018, at the 

Court’s convenience. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED. 

Dated: April 20, 2018
