1. On June 11, 2015, pursuant to Civil L.R. 16-8 and ADR L.R. 3-5, the parties 

stipulated to Early Neutral Evaluation (“ENE”) as the most suitable Alternative Dispute 

Resolution (“ADR”) process for this matter. See Doc. 19.

2. On June 12, 2015, the Court entered its order approving the parties’ stipulation, 

see Doc. 20 (the “Order”), and on July 24, 2015, the Court issued notice that Peter Califano, Esq. 

has been assigned to this case as Evaluator. See Doc. 27.

3. On July 30, 2015, counsel for the parties held their initial telephonic conference 

with Mr. Califano to discuss preparation for, and scheduling of, the parties’ ENE session, which 

is to be held on or before September 10, 2015 pursuant to the Court’s June 12, 2015 Order.

4. During the parties’ discussions with Mr. Califano, it was agreed that, in light of 

Defendant’s impending motion for summary judgment, which is to be filed on or before August 

20, 2015, see Doc. 25, the mandatory ENE session would be duplicative of Defendant’s motion, 

and therefore unproductive at this time.

5. Accordingly, the parties agree—with Mr. Califano’s support—that the mandatory 

ENE process and schedule currently in place should be stayed pending resolution of Defendant’s 

motion for summary judgment. Motion briefing will be concluded by September 10, 2015, and a 

hearing on Defendant’s motion is currently set for September 17, 2015. The parties further agree 

that, following the Court’s ruling on Defendant’s summary judgment motion, they should 

reconvene at a Joint Case Management Conference before the Court to assess which ADR process 

and schedule best suits this case moving forward.

6. The parties have not previously requested any changes to the ADR schedule, and 

the instant stipulation, if approved, would not otherwise affect the schedule of these proceedings. 

Indeed, pending resolution of Defendant’s impending motion for summary judgment, discovery 

is currently stayed until further order of the Court. See Doc. 26.
