WHEREAS, on June 6, 2008, the parties filed a stipulation and proposed order informing the 

Court that counsel for Plaintiff Metro Fuel and the City Attorney's Office had agreed upon the terms 

of proposal to stay the present litigation pending a decision by the Ninth Circuit in Metro Lights, 

L.L.C. v. City of Los Angeles, 488 F. Supp. 2d 927 (C.D. Cal. 2006), appeal docketed, No. 07-55179 

(9th Cir. Feb. 1, 2007) and Metro Lights, L.L.C. v. City of Los Angeles No. 04-1037, 2006 WL 

4941839 (C.D. Cal. Nov. 3, 2006), appeal docketed, No. 07-55207 (9th Cir. Feb. 9, 2007), which was 

to include the City and County of San Francisco’s agreement to stay enforcement of local ordinances 

at issue in the present litigation; and 

WHEREAS, the parties’ June 6, 2008 stipulation also stated that counsel for Plaintiff Metro 

Fuel and the City Attorney's Office needed to obtain approval of the proposal to stay the litigation 

from their respective clients, and that the counsel for parties would notify the Court no later than 

Wednesday, June 11, 2008, whether their respective clients have approved the proposal to stay the 

litigation; and 

WHEREAS, despite extensive, good-faith negotiations, the parties unfortunately have been 

unable to finalize a mutually acceptable agreement to stay enforcement of the local ordinances at 

issue in the present litigation; and 

WHEREAS, the parties mutually agree that it would be helpful for the Court to hold a Case 

Management Conference either on Friday, June 20, 2008 at 1:30 p.m. or as soon thereafter as is 

convenient for the Court (counsel for both sides being unavailable on Friday, June 13) to discuss, 

among other things, the schedule for Plaintiff’s contemplated motion for a preliminary injunction, the 

schedule for an administrative motion seeking leave to file such motion, and the extent to which 

discovery should proceed in advance of such motion and while such motion is pending;
