CASE NO. 3:15-cv-04721-WHA

-1- JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] 

ORDER RE BRIEFING SCHEDULE 

Pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-1(a), Plaintiffs Aaron Van Fleet, Paul Ovberg, and James

Longfield (“Plaintiffs”) and Defendant Trion Worlds, Inc. (“Trion”), collectively, the “Parties”, 

through their respective counsel, stipulate to a modest scheduling adjustment to achieve two 

goals: 1) align the briefing schedule on Plaintiffs’ motion to remand with Defendants’ anticipated 

motion to compel arbitration; and 2) stay the need for any further response to the Complaint or 

motion practice, including the need to file a Rule 12 motion to dismiss, until the Court rules on 

the motion to remand or the motion to compel arbitration.

The Parties’ Stipulation and Proposed Order are based on the following background and 

procedural history: 

Plaintiffs filed their Complaint against Trion on September 8, 2015, in the Superior Court 

of the State of California, County of San Mateo (the “Complaint”) (hereinafter the “Action”);

On October 13, 2015, Trion timely removed the Action to this Court and served all 

necessary papers on the same date;

On October 15, 2015, the Parties stipulated to extend Trion’s time to answer or otherwise 

respond to the Complaint by thirty days, up to and including November 19, 2015; 

Trion anticipates filing a Motion to Compel Arbitration on November 19, 2015, which 

Trion believes will satisfy its obligation to respond to the Complaint and preserve Trion’s right to 

respond to the substantive claims in the Complaint if and when such a response is necessary; 

Plaintiffs’ last day to file a Motion for Remand is November 12, 2015; and, 

The Parties wish to align the briefing schedules for Trion’s Motion to Compel Arbitration 

and Plaintiffs’ Motion for Remand. 

It is therefore stipulated and agreed, by and between the Parties, that: 

1. Plaintiffs’ time to file a Motion for Remand is extended by seven days, up to and 

including November 19, 2015; 

2. Trion’s response to Plaintiffs’ Motion for Remand, and Plaintiffs’ response to 

Trion’s Motion to Compel Arbitration, will be filed no later than December 10, 

2015; 

3. Plaintiffs’ Reply In Support of Plaintiffs’ Motion for Remand, and Trion’s Reply

-2- JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] 

ORDER RE BRIEFING SCHEDULE

In Support of Trion’s Motion to Compel Arbitration, will be filed no later than 

December 17, 2015; 

4. The Parties will notice their respective motions for hearing on January 7, 2015; 

5. Trion’s obligation to file an answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint 

pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b) is stayed pending the Court’s ruling on Plaintiffs’ 

Motion for Remand and Trion’s Motion to Compel Arbitration. 

All other requirements under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure shall remain in place, 

and neither party will use this Stipulation as a basis to delay the prosecution or defense in this 

action. The proposed time modification will not alter the date of any event or any deadline 

already fixed by Court order.
