1 Management Conference presently scheduled for July 13, 2010, at 2:00 p.m., in Courtroom 2 of

2 the above-entitled court, and for relief from the related case management deadlines. The paries

3 respectfully request that the Cour continue the Case Management Conference because, as evident

4 from the pleadings and documents on file and as set forth in the accompanying Declaration of

5 Brad S. Daniels, the paries have fied dispositive motions, the outcome of which wil resolve

6 whether tms action wil proceed. It would be a more effcient use of the Court's and paries'

7 resources to determine whether a Case Management Conference is necessar after the Cour

8 decides the pending motions, and to continue the related deadlines accordingly. The paries agree

9 that if a Case Management Conference is necessar, it should be continued to a date no earlier

10 than thirty (30) days after the Court's decision on the pending motions, or such other date as may

11 be convenient for the Cour.

I, BRA S. DANIELS, declare:

1. I am an attorney with Stoel Rives LLP, attorneys of record for Defendant TD

5 Ameritrade, Inc. My motion for leave to appear pro hace vice is pending before the Court. I

6 make this declaration on my personal knowledge and am competent to testify to the facts set forth

7 herein.

8 2. Plaintiff and Defendant were paries to a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority

9 (FINRA) arbitration. After a hearing, a three-member panel of arbitrators issued an arbítration

10 award in December 2009 (the "Award").

11 3. On March 23, 2010, Plaintiff fied a Motion to Vacate the A ward and a Complaint

12 in this Court.

13 4. On April 16, 2010, the Court issued a Case Management Order setting (1)

14 deadlines related to Plaintift s Motion to Vacate, (2) a hearing on the Motion to Vacate for June

15 3,2010, and (3) a Case Management Conference for July 13,2010. The hearing was

16 subsequently continued to June 17,2010.

17 5. On May 3, 2010, Defendant fied a Response to Plaintifts Motion to Vacate and a

18 Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs Amended Complaint on res 

judicata grounds.

19 6. On May 14, 2010, the Cour issued an order vacating the June 17 hearing and

20 takng both motions under submission on the papers. The paries completed briefing related to

21 the motions on June 3, 2010. The Motion to Dismiss and the Motion to Vacate are currently

22 pending before the Court.

23 7. Although Plaintiff fied a Complaint, this case is not in a typical procedural

24 posture. The outcome of the motions wil determine whether the action wil proceed.

25 8. The paries believe that it would be a more efficient use of the Court's and the

26 paries' resources to determine whether a Case Management Conference is necessar after the

27 Court decides the pending motions, and to continue the related deadlines accordingly.
