- 1 - STIPULATION RE: DEFENDANTS’ MOTIONS TO 

STAY, COMPEL, AND DISMISS

Case No. C 06-0963 (VRW)

WHEREAS, Defendants filed three motions that are currently pending before this 

Court—a Motion to Stay the District Court Proceedings Pending the Resolution of Defendants’ 

Appeal (“Motion to Stay”); a Motion to Compel Arbitration of Plaintiff Kangana Beri’s Claims 

(“Motion to Compel Arbitration”); and a Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint Under Fed. 

R. Civ. Pro. 12(B)(6) (“Motion to Dismiss”);

WHEREAS, the Court and the parties held a Case Management Conference on April 3, 

2007, at which conference the parties and Court decided that the Motion to Stay would be heard 

first, on May 10, 2007, and (if the proceedings were not stayed) the Motions to Compel 

Arbitration and to Dismiss would be heard thereafter, on June 14, 2007;

WHEREAS, on April 13, 2007, Plaintiffs filed with the Court an agreed Stipulation and 

[Proposed] Order Re: Defendants’ Motions To (1) Stay Proceedings Pending The Resolution of 

Appeal; (2) Compel Arbitration of Plaintiff Kangana Beri’s Claims; and (3) Motion to Dismiss 

Amended Complaint;

WHEREAS, the purpose of the April 13, 2007 agreed Stipulation and Proposed Order 

was to promote judicial efficiency as more fully set forth in the Stipulation;

WHEREAS, on April 19, 2007, the Court issued a Clerk’s Notice that, among other 

things, stated that “per Counsel’s request, Defendants’ Motion to Compel Arbitration currently 

set for hearing on June 14, 2007 is re-set for hearing on June 21, 2007 at 2:00 p.m.” The Clerk’s 

Notice, however, did not address certain other issues concerning the pending Motions to Compel 

Arbitration or Dismiss;

THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AND STIPULATE AS FOLLOWS:

1. Defendants’ Motion to Compel Arbitration, currently set for hearing on June 14, 2007, is 

re-set for hearing on June 21, 2007 at 2:00 p.m.; Plaintiff’s opposition to Defendants’ 

Motion to Compel Arbitration is due May 18, 2007 and Defendants’ reply in further 

support of their Motion to Compel Arbitration is due June 7, 2007; 

2. Defendants’ Motion to Stay, currently set for hearing on May 10, 2007 and Defendants’

Motion to Dismiss, currently set for hearing on June 14, 2007, are continued to the next
