Plaintiff, 

v. 

ESPRIT US DISTRIBUTION, LTD., 

Defendant. 

 Case No. C 07-0910 SI 

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] 

ORDER CONTINUING INITIAL 

CASE MANAGEMENT 

CONFERENCE 

CMC DATE: May 25, 2007 

CMC TIME: 2:00 p.m.

 

 The initial Case Management Conference in this action is currently scheduled to take 

place on May 25, 2007, at 2:00 p.m. In light of ongoing settlement discussions between the 

parties, the parties hereby request that the conference be continued for four weeks, until June 

22, 2007. 

 The parties have been engaged in settlement discussions since the complaint was filed. 

The negotiation process has been somewhat slowed by the fact that the defendant's parent 

company is located outside the United States, and defendant is still attempting to collect some 

of the information that plaintiff has requested. However, the parties remain hopeful that their 

dispute can be resolved without resorting to further litigation. 

 Accordingly, the parties believe it would be appropriate to continue the Initial Case
