The Court APPROVES the stipulation IN PART as follows. While the Court applauds the parties' efforts to settle this matter and preserve judicial resources (Doc. 30 at 2), because the motion has been pending for a period exceeding four months, the Court is not inclined to grant a continuance of an additional four months, to July 2010. Therefore, the Court ORDERS: 1. The hearing on the motion for remand is CONTINUED from March 26, 2010, to May 14, 2010, at 9:30 a.m. in Courtroom 10; and 2. The initial scheduling conference is CONTINUED from April 21, 2010, to June 2, 2010, at 9:30 a.m. in Courtroom 10.

IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated:
