-2- 

Plaintiff Cutera, Inc. (“Plaintiff” or “Cutera”) and Defendant Lutronic Aesthetics, 

Inc. (“Defendant” or “Lutronic”), together the “Parties,” by and through their respective 

counsel of record, hereby stipulate to request the Court to continue the Case Management 

Conference currently set for Janaruy 25, 2024. This stipulation is based on the following: 

RECITALS 

A. This action has been pending in this Court since January 31, 2020. 

B. The Parties are also engaged in a related and ongoing arbitration with 

JAMS (JAMS Reference No. 1110025250) involving Cutera and ten (10) current 

Lutronic employees formerly employed by Cutera; 

C. The Parties have agreed that discovery from the JAMS matter, and 

specifically, the discovery obtained from an arbitrator-appointed neutral forensics 

examiner, Daniel Garrie, may be used in this matter; 

D. This Court has previously extended pretrial deadlines by stipulation 

because of the significant time in forensically examining, collecting, and conducting 

privilege reviews. 

E. On December 7, 2023, the Parties participated in a one-day mediation with 

the Honorable Jeremy D. Fogel, retired United States District Court Judge. While the 

matters did not settle on that day, the mediation is ongoing in that Judge Fogel continues 

to work with the Parties in an effort to settle this case and all related litigation. Due to the 

holidays, these discussions have taken longer than anticipated; 

F. The Parties agree that a successful mediation of this action would resolve 

this case without further expenditure of Court resources; 

G. A Scheduling Conference is currently scheduled before the Court on 

January 25, 2024. Due to the ongoing settlement discussions, the Parties respectfully 

request that the Court continue the Scheduling Conference not less than 30 days, 

preferably in early March 2024 or thereafter.
