SECOND JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER FOR MODIFICATION OF 

CASE MANAGEMENT SCHEDULE AND TRIAL DATE 

CASE NO. CV-09-1153 MHP 2 

WHEREAS, Z-Line Designs, Inc. (“Z-Line” or “Plaintiff”) and Defendant Planet 3, LLC 

(“Planet 3” or “Defendant”) are engaged in settlement discussions, which respective counsel believe 

will lead to a final resolution of this matter; 

 WHEREAS, the parties have reached a settlement-in-principle and are working to 

memorialize the terms of the settlement, with a written draft in circulation; 

 WHEREAS, the parties, mindful of this Court’s interest in having this case resolved, and 

confident of the parties’ ability to resolve this matter, are diligently working to reach a settlement. 

However, given the approaching close of fact discovery, the parties require additional time; 

 WHEREAS, counsel for the parties believe that an additional thirty (30) day suspension of 

applicable deadlines in this case will allow the parties and counsel to continue to devote their 

attention and resources to a final resolution of this matter. 

 WHEREAS, one previous suspension has been sought by the parties; 

 ACCORDINGLY, the parties, by and through their undersigned counsel, HEREBY 

STIPULATE as follows: 

 In order to avoid prejudicing the parties’ discovery efforts and trial preparations, and to 

allow the parties to focus on settlement negotiations, the parties agree and respectfully request that 

the current pre-trial schedule be modified as follows: 

1. The fact discovery cut-off, which is currently set for March 8, 2010, is extended to 

April 7, 2010. 

2. The deadline to designate experts, which is currently set for April 5, 2010, is 

extended to May 5, 2010. 

3. The deadline to designate rebuttal experts, which is currently set for May 10, 2010, is 

extended to June 9, 2010. 

4. The expert discovery cut-off, which is currently set for June 7, 2010, is extended to 

July 7, 2010. 

5. The hearing on dispositive motions, which is currently set for July 26, 2010, is reset 

for August 30, 2010, at 2:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the Court’s schedule permits. 

6. The pretrial conference, which is currently set for September 2, 2010, is adjourned to
