 The parties, by their undersigned counsel, jointly submit this request for leave to defer pretrial scheduling. 

 1. On August 5, 2010, this Court held a case management conference (“CMC”) in this 

matter. 

 2. At the CMC, the parties advised that they have agreed to participate in a settlement 

mediation scheduled before Judge Infante on October 11, 2010. Prior to the mediation, the parties 

have agreed to refrain from taking depositions and to focus discovery primarily on written 

information and documents concerning potential relief and hence necessary to prepare for the 

mediation. 

 3. At the CMC, the Court scheduled another Case Management Conference for October 

21, 2010, following the mediation. The Court suggested that the parties may wish to defer 

submitting a proposed pre-trial schedule at this time and instead address that matter at next Case 

Management Conference. While the parties previously indicated to the Court that they wish to 

submit a proposed schedule now, upon further reflection, the parties agree that the Court’s 

suggestion of deferring submission of a proposed pre-trial schedule until the next CMC is more 

appropriate. 

The parties therefore request leave to defer the setting of a pre-trial schedule until the next 

Case Management Conference scheduled for October 21, 2010. 

Dated: August 18, 2010
