JOINT STATUS REPORT; STIPULATION AND ORDER REGARDING REQUEST TO MODIFY
SCHEDULING ORDER RE PRE-TRIAL PROCEEDINGS

{00978803.DOC}

1

Since filing the request for stay of proceedings on January 9, 2012 (ECF # 654) and the Court’s

2

approval of the same (ECF # 655), with the assistance of Magistrate Judge Newman counsel for the

3

parties have spent extensive time working on bringing this matter to resolution. The parties and their

4

counsel have a good faith belief that with continued efforts, an agreement on the terms and conditions

5

of settlement should be reached by Friday, January 20, 2012. In the event settlement is not going to be

6

possible, that too should be known by January 20th. Accordingly, the parties request a further stay of

7

proceedings until January 20, 2012, at which time they will file a further Joint Status Report. This

8

further stay will allow the parties and their counsel to focus on settlement efforts, which will eliminate

9

the need for pre-trial motions, a damages phase trial and post-trial motions.
