This Stipulation is made by and among plaintiff Bryan Pringle (“Plaintiff”)

2 and defendants William Adams, Jr., Stacy Ferguson, Allan Pineda and Jaime Gomez,
3 all individually and collectively as the music group the Black Eyed Peas, UMG
4 Recordings, Inc., Interscope Records, EMI April Music, Inc., Headphone Junkie
5 Publishing, LLC, Will.I.Am, LLC, Jeepney Music, Inc., Tab Magnetic Publishing,
6 Cherry River Music Co., and Square Rivoli Publishing (collectively, “Remaining
7 Defendants”) (Plaintiff and Remaining Defendants are hereafter collectively referred
8 to as the “Parties”), and is made with reference to the following:
9

On Friday, April 6, 2012, Plaintiff filed a motion for voluntary dismissal of the

10 Remaining Defendants without prejudice and without fees or costs pursuant to Rule

LLP

HAMPTONHOLLEY

2101 East Coast Highway, Suite 260
Corona del Mar, California 92625

11 41(a)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. (ECF Doc. #262.)
12

Upon receiving notice of the filing, on April 6, 2012, counsel for the

13 Remaining Defendants contacted Plaintiff’s counsel and objected to the filing as
14 premature under Local Rule 7-3.
15

On Monday, April 9, 2012, Kara Cenar, lead counsel for several of the

16 Remaining Defendants, reiterated the objection to the filing as premature under
17 Local Rule 7-3, and also reminded Plaintiff’s counsel that she will be traveling and
18 unavailable during the week leading up to the April 16, 2012 deadline for Remaining
19 Defendants’ opposition to the motion. Ms. Cenar requested a continuance of the
20 hearing date so that she may participate in preparing her clients’ opposition to the
21 motion, and suggested that such a continuance would help ameliorate her clients’
22 concerns regarding the prematurity of the filing under Local Rule 7-3.
23

The Parties thereafter met and conferred through counsel and agreed that a one

24 week continuance of the hearing on the motion would resolve Ms. Cenar’s calendar
25 conflict and Remaining Defendants’ concern regarding the prematurity of the filing
26 under Local Rule 7-3.
