20547310v2

Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 16-2 and 7-12, Plaintiff Steve Shields (“Plaintiff”) and 

Defendants Alere Home Monitoring, Inc. and Alere San Diego, Inc. (“Defendants”), hereby agree 

and stipulate that good cause exists to request an order from the Court rescheduling the Initial 

Case Management Conference currently set for September 11, 2015.

WHEREAS, Plaintiff filed a Complaint on June 10, 2015 and a First Amended Complaint

on July 27, 2015, and thereafter served the First Amended Complaint on Defendants;

WHEREAS, on June 11, 2015, the Court Clerk automatically assigned this case to the 

ADR Multi-Option Program, pursuant to ADR Local Rule 3-3(a) (Dkt. # 4). On June 12, 2015, the 

Clerk issued an order assigning this case to Your Honor, which vacated all dates scheduled at the 

time, but noted that “briefing schedules, including ADR and other deadlines remain unchanged.” 

The Parties mistakenly understood that the ADR Certification, Stipulation to the ADR Process, 

and Notice of Need for an ADR Phone Conference were not “briefing,” and thus that their 

deadlines had been vacated. On August 28, 2015, the Clerk issued an Order calling on the parties 

to file those ADR documents (Dkt. # 18).

WHEREAS, on June 18, 2015, the Court scheduled a Case Management Conference for 

September 11, 2015 (Dkt. #9), and set the deadline for filing a Joint Case Management Statement 

as September 4, 2015;

WHEREAS, on August 19, 2015, the Parties filed a Joint Stipulation to Extend Time to 

Respond (Dkt. #17) in which the Parties agreed, pursuant to Local Rule 6-1(a), that Defendants 

shall have until September 4, 2015 to respond to the First Amended Complaint;

WHEREAS, based on their review of the original Complaint, Defendants plan to file a 

motion to dismiss in response to the Amended Complaint;

WHEREAS, the deadline for the Case Management Statement is currently the same as the 

deadline for Defendants’ response, and the Case Management Conference set for September 11, 

2015 would take place before Defendants’ motion to dismiss is fully briefed and decided by the 

Court;

WHEREAS, the Parties believe that, in order to avoid the needless waste of the Court’s 

and the Parties’ resources, it would be prudent to defer the initial case management conference and

ADR deadlines until after Defendants’ motion to dismiss is filed, fully briefed, and decided;

WHEREAS, the Parties do not seek to reset these dates for the purpose of delay, and the 

proposed new dates will not have an effect on any pre-trial and trial dates as the Court has yet to 

schedule these dates; and

 NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties hereby stipulate and respectfully request that the Court 

continue the Case Management Conference until thirty (30) days after either the court decides 

Defendants’ motion to dismiss or Defendants file an answer to the First Amended Complaint. The 

Parties will file their Joint Case Management Statement at least seven days before the scheduled 

Case Management Conference. Further, the parties also respectfully request that the court extend 

the deadline to comply with the ADR requirement until the date of the Case Management 

Conference. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
