TAIC’s Complaint, with leave to amend. (Dkt. No. 35.)

2. On November 2, 2016, TAIC timely filed its Amended Complaint. (Dkt. No. 38.)

3. On November 15, 2016, R&Q Re timely filed a Motion to Dismiss TAIC’s

Amended Complaint which is scheduled to be heard on December 22, 2016. (Dkt. No. 39.)

TAIC’s deadline to oppose R&Q Re’s motion is November 29, 2016.

4. On November 18, 2016, the Parties’ counsel conducted a telephone conference

with the Court’s appointed ADR officer, Sarah Winslow. On that call the Parties could not reach

a consensus on terms to continue R&Q Re’s motion to dismiss or to enlarge TAIC’s time to file

its opposition brief.

5. On November 22, 2016, TAIC filed an administrative motion to continue R&Q

Re’s Motion to Dismiss and enlarge TAIC’s time to oppose R&Q Re’s motion by two-weeks to

account for the Thanksgiving Holiday and the unavailability of TAIC’s counsel and principals.

(Dkt. Nos. 40, 40-1, and 40-2.)

6. On November 28, 2016, R&Q Re filed a response to TAIC’s administrative

motion agreeing to continue the briefing schedule related to R&Q Re’s motion. In its response,

R&Q Re proposed to the Court that its motion to dismiss is suitable for disposition without oral

argument. (Dkt. Nos. 41, 41-1, and 41-2.)

7. The Parties disagree whether the Court should hear oral argument on R&Q Re’s

motion to dismiss and acknowledge that this decision is within the Court’s discretion.

8. Principals for R&Q Re and TAIC have recently engaged in settlement discussions,

including an exchange of written settlement communications. A Settlement Conference is

scheduled for January 3, 2017 before the Honorable U.S. District Court for the Northern District

of Illinois Magistrate Judge Maria Valdez.

9. The only other enlargement of time requested in this case was the Parties’

stipulation to extend R&Q Re’s time to file a reply brief in support of its first Motion to Dismiss.

10. Granting this stipulation should have no impact on the schedule of this case other

than to suspend or delay motion practice while the Parties continue settlement negotiations.

11. Pursuant to the foregoing, the Parties hereby stipulate and agree to the following

continuation of the briefing schedule related to R&Q Re’s Motion to Dismiss (Dkt. No. 39), and

request the Court’s approval of their stipulation to the proposed briefing schedule as follows:
