They and each of them concurs with the representations and statements set forth in the 

declaration by Mr. Graybill submitted herewith. 

For the reasons stated in the Graybill Declaration, the parties respectfully request that this 

Court vacate the order setting the status conference currently in effect for June 28, 2010 and stay 

all proceedings in this matter including but not limited to responses to the complaint until after 

the U.S. Supreme Court decides McDonald v. City of Chicago (Doc. No. 08-1521) and/or the 

related case, National Rifle Association of America v. City of Chicago (No. 08-1497) in which 

writs of certiorari have been granted with decisions expected on or before June 30, 2010, and the 

U. S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit decides Nordyke v. King, No. 07-15763, for which 

proceedings have been stayed pending the Supreme Court’s decision in McDonald and/or 

National Rifle Association of America. 

The parties agree to enlarge the time to respond to the complaint until 20 days after the 

stay is lifted by order of the Court. The parties further agree that by stipulating to stay the action 

Defendants are not waiving their right to bring a motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) to 

transfer the action for the convenience of the parties. 

The parties respectfully request that the order vacating and staying proceedings remain in 

effect pending further order of the Court. The parties are obligated to notify this Court of 

decisions in McDonald, Nordyke and Mehl within five working days after each has been filed.
