Case no. 2:06-CV-01445-LKK-PAN 

STIPULATION TO CONTINUE STATUS 

CONFERENCE; ORDER 

Before: Hon. Lawrence K. Karlton 

Action Filed: June 28, 2006 

Trial Date: (Not Yet Set)

The parties in the above-captioned case hereby request a third continuance of the status 

conference currently scheduled for June 4, 2007. 

After plaintiffs and defendant had each filed Notices of Appeal of the Court’s July 21, 2006, 

Order, the parties have undertaken serious negotiations for settlement of this matter. To accommodate 

the parties’ negotiations, the parties have requested and received continuances from the United States 

Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, extending the briefing schedule.

The parties expect that their continuing negotiations will resolve the entire controversy. Plaintiff 

has filed an application for licensure under the California Finance Lenders Law (California Financial 

Code §§ 22000 et. seq.) and defendant is currently processing that application. Even if the parties fail to 

reach a negotiated settlement, the disposition of the pending appeal will greatly impact if not totally 

control the final outcome of this controversy. Therefore, the parties have agreed to request that the 

Court stay the discovery process until a settlement is formalized or the Court of Appeals for the Ninth 

Circuit has ruled on the issues before it, whichever comes first. 

Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate and request that the Court agree to continue the status 

conference, currently set for June 4, 2007, until October 1, 2007 at 1:30 p.m.
