JOINT MOTION TO RECHEDULE SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE
CASE NO. 1:11-CV-00902-LJO-JLT

1

The Parties are currently engaged in private settlement discussions.

2

The Parties have stipulated to place the case on hold (including placing a stay on any

3

further discovery in the case) while settlement negotiations are pending.

4

Though the Settlement Conference is currently scheduled for January 9, 2012, the Parties

5

anticipate that they will need another six weeks to attempt to settle the case privately and, to that

6

effect, have agreed to internal timelines for the expedition of settlement talks.

7

Accordingly, counsel for the Parties jointly request that the Court reschedule the

8

Settlement Conference to February 28, 2012, in the morning or to the morning of February 13, 27

9

or 29, whichever is best suited to the Court’s schedule. Rescheduling the conference will not
