STIPULATION TO STAY PROCEEDINGS 2:16-CV-02639-JAM-DB 

48872523.V1

The undersigned counsel, representing Plaintiff Mabey Inc. and the Defendants named in 

the action, hereby jointly stipulate to a further limited stay of proceedings through March 6, 2017 

and an extension of the deadline for responsive pleadings to March 16, 2017. This Court 

previously granted the Parties a 60-day stay to permit settlement negotiations. See ECF No. 19 

(Order). 

A further stay is needed to allow the parties to continue ongoing settlement discussions. 

Representatives of Plaintiff Mabey, Inc. and Defendant MCM Construction, Inc. met in person on 

February 14, 2017, for the purpose of engaging in settlement discussions. While no settlement 

was reached at this meeting, counsel for the Parties have subsequently continued settlement 

discussions, including e-mails exchanged on February 22nd, and the Parties are optimistic that a 

final settlement can be achieved in the next 10 calendar days. A stay of the pending litigation 

would facilitate settlement because it would allow the parties to limit their expenditure of 

attorney’s fees and costs addressing the requirements of the litigation while settlement 

negotiations are underway. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
