STIPULATION AND ORDER STAYING
DEADLINES FOR ADJUDICATING
PLAINTIFF-INTERVENOR CHRISTOPHER
LIPSEY’S CLAIM PENDING SETTLEMENT
Judge:
Hon. Kimberly Mueller
Action Filed: April 23, 1990
1
On February 25, 2022, the Court issued an order referring the issues raised in Plaintiff-
2
Intervenor Christopher Lipsey’s claim in intervention to Chief Magistrate Judge Kendall Newman for
3
mediation and extending the deadlines for adjudicating Lipsey’s claim to allow time for the parties to
4
explore settlement. See ECF No. 7478. That schedule calls for an April 29, 2022 fact discovery cutoff.
5
Id. ¶ 1.
6
At a March 22, 2022 settlement conference, the parties reached an agreement in principle,
7
“subject to submission of documents and approval by” the Court. ECF Nos. 7496, 7512. Defendants
8
circulated a draft settlement agreement on April 5, 2022. Lipsey and Plaintiffs will need time to review
9
the draft before it can be submitted for approval.
10
To allow time to finalize and seek the Court’s approval for the settlement without unnecessarily
11
expending additional resources on a claim that has settled in principle, the parties request that the
12
Court vacate the deadlines set forth in the February 25, 2022 Stipulation and Order, ECF No. 7478,
13
and all other pending discovery deadlines, including Lipsey’s deadline to respond to Defendants’
14
Interrogatories to Plaintiff-Intervenor Lipsey, Set Two. If the parties are unable to finalize a settlement
15
or the Court disapproves the settlement, the parties will promptly propose a new schedule.
16
IT IS STIPULATED AS FOLLOWS:
17
The parties jointly stipulate and request that the Court order as follows:
18
1. The deadlines set forth in the February 25, 2022 Stipulation and Order, ECF No. 7478,
19
as well as all other pending discovery deadlines, including Lipsey’s deadline to respond to
20
Defendants’ Interrogatories to Plaintiff-Intervenor Lipsey, Set Two, are vacated.
21
2. If the parties have not finalized and submitted a settlement agreement for the Court’s
22
approval within forty-five days from the date of this order, the parties shall meet and confer
23
and file within sixty days from the date of this order a joint statement proposing a new schedule
24
for adjudication of Lipsey’s claim.
25
3. If the Court enters an order denying approval of the settlement, the parties shall meet
26
and confer and file within fourteen days of the entry of that order a joint statement proposing
27
a new schedule for adjudication of Lipsey’s claim.

Stipulation and Order Staying Deadlines for Lipsey’s Claim Pending Settlement
(2:90-cv-00520 KJM DB (PC))
1
4. In the event the parties are unable to agree to a new schedule should one be necessary
2
under paragraphs 2 or 3, the parties shall submit a schedule that provides three weeks to
3
respond to outstanding written discovery (including Defendants’ Interrogatories to Plaintiff-
4
Intervenor Lipsey, Set Two) and that otherwise tracks the time that was remaining as of
5
February 25, 2022 for each deadline.
