NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION 

I. MICHAEL ROSS, 

 Plaintiff, 

 v. 

TOMLAB OPTIMIZATION AB, 

TOMLAB OPTIMIZATION, INC., 

and DOES 1 through 20, 

 Defendants. 

CASE NO. C08-01052 MHP

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] 

ORDER POSTPONING CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

WHEREAS: 

 A. Plaintiff I. Michael Ross (“Ross”), of the one part, and defendant Tomlab 

Organization, Inc., on its behalf and on behalf of its parent Tomlab Organization, A.B. (hereinafter 

jointly called Tomlab”), of the other part, are negotiating a settlement, and are optimistic that such a 

settlement will be concluded within the next ten days. The effect of that settlement will be to 

resolve all issues between those parties, and to dismiss the action as to Tomlab; 

 B. Defendant Anil Rao (“Rao”) was only recently added as a defendant, by a Second 

Amended Complaint filed on May 9, 2008, and he has not yet been served with the summons and

complaint. Rao is therefore not yet a served party available to sign this stipulation; 

C. Defendant Tomlab Organization, A.B. has also not yet been served with the 

summons and complaint, and is also not available to sign this stipulation; 

D. Ross and Tomlab believe that proceeding with a Case Management Conference at 

this time would be a waste of judicial resources, and would impose wasted expense and 

inconvenience on them by requiring them to complete the required pre-conference initial 

disclosures, joint statement, etc. when a settlement appears imminent. Moreover, since Rao has yet 

to be served and to appear in the action, he is not available to complete the required pre-conference 

initial disclosures, joint statement, etc.; 

E. Accordingly, in view of the foregoing Ross and Tomlab have agreed to jointly 

request the Court to postpone the Case Management Conference now scheduled for June 9, 2008 

for approximately 90 days, as they hereby do: 

ACCORDINGLY, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Ross and defendant 

Tomlab Organization, Inc., through their respective counsel, that the Case Management Conference 

currently scheduled for June 9, 2008 may be postponed to August 11, 2008, at 4.00 p.m., or such 

other date as the Court may direct, and that the related dates for filing a Joint Case Management 

Conference and for compliance with the other matters specified in the Order Setting Initial Case 

Management Conference and ADR Deadlines (Document 2) and the Clerk’s Notice Scheduling 

Case Management Conference In Reassigned Case (Document 17) may be adjusted accordingly.
