The undersigned parties, through counsel, STIPULATE and AGREE and jointly request that the above-captioned matter be referred to Magistrate Judge James Larson for a settlement conference in late May or early June 2009. The parties make this request based on the following circumstances: 1. On April 30, 2009, counsel for the parties attended a case management conference

with Chief Judge Vaughn Walker. 2. At the April 30 case management conference, Chief Judge Walker ordered a pretrial

conference to take place on July 2, 2009 and the trial in this matter to commence on August 10, 2009. 3. 4. There is currently no settlement conference scheduled in the above-captioned matter. Counsel for the parties believe that a settlement conference with Judge Larson will be

productive and will allow the parties to seriously explore opportunities to resolve the case. It will be most productive to have the settlement conference soon, before the expenditure of costs and time rapidly increases as the pretrial conference and trial approach. 5. This is the first time the parties have requested a settlement conference with a

Magistrate Judge in this matter. No other dates will be affected by this requested change. For the aforementioned reasons, the parties jointly request that the above-captioned matter be referred to Magistrate Judge James Larson for a settlement conference in late May or early June 2009.
