later than January 31, 2016; and,

Whereas all Counterdefendants above have been served with Summons and the 

SAC except for DIVERSIFIED GOODS;

On September 23, 2015, CMPB filed a “Stipulation & [Proposed] Order 

Extending Time for Counterdefendants to File Answer to Second Amended Answer and 

Counterclaims of California Milk Processor Board.” (Docket No. 49) FMMI, MAGIC 

STRAWS, REACH and TOLLEFSON contend that this Stipulation was intended to

extend the time for them to plead by answer or by motion. CMPB disagrees with their 

position based on the plain language of the Stipulation. All parties reserve their right to 

further address this issue following the conclusion of the mediation.

On September 28, 2015, the Court issued its “Order Extending Time for 

Counterdefendants to File Answer to Second Amended Answer and Counterclaims of 

California Milk Processor Board.” (Docket No. 54)

On October 20, 2015, DIVERSIFIED FLAVOR and HENSON filed their 

“Stipulation Pursuant to Local Rule 144 Extending Time for Counterdefendants 

Diversified Flavor, LLC and Paul Henson to Appear, Answer or Otherwise Respond with 

Respect to California Milk Processor Board’s Counterclaims.” (Docket No. 58)

Whereas all of the parties have now mutually agreed to submit all of their disputes 

to private mediation;

Whereas all of the parties have agreed on a mediator, Hon. Raul A. Ramirez, Ret.;

Whereas all of the parties hereto believe that an effective mediation will be 

enhanced if the parties are able to temporarily suspend current deadlines with respect to 

the SAC and that, unless those deadlines are temporarily suspended, a mediation would 

not be possible;

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS STIPULATED AND AGREED as follows:

1. The parties intend to conduct multiple days of mediation with Judge 

Ramirez sometime in January 2016;

2. The parties intend that the mediation will be concluded by January 31,

well as the parties’ preparation and submission of an Amended Joint Status Report to

Docket Nos. 49, 54, and 58 are each continued until 30 days following the final face-toface session involving mediator Ramirez and the parties.

5. The parties intend that all of their claims and defenses, legal or equitable, 

be tolled and suspended without prejudice while also expressly reserving all rights as 

they existed as of the date of this Stipulation.
