Pursuant to the Civil Local Rule 7-12 and as suggested by the Deputy Clerk of Chief Judge Vaughn R. Walker, Plaintiff Karl Storz Endoscopy-America, Inc. ("KSEA") and Defendant FemSuite, LLC ("FemSuite"), hereby jointly state the following: On March 25, 2009, KSEA and FemSuite held a mediation of this matter before Chief Magistrate Judge James Larson. As a result of that mediation, the parties decided to explore a business settlement but need an opportunity to conduct due diligence. Accordingly, the parties would like to undertake a "stand-still" of litigation efforts and suspend the current case schedule until approximately May 8, 2009. Subsequently, the parties anticipate reporting the status of the settlement efforts to Judge Walker in a Case Management Conference under Civil Local Rules 16-10(c) and (d). The parties further note that in a January 8, 2009 Civil Pretrial Minute Order (Document No. 66) attached as Exhibit A to this document, the Court has set forth case scheduling deadlines which would be necessarily effected by any such "stand-still" agreement. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and request that the Court enter an order as follows: 1. The deadlines set forth in Exhibit A, with the exception of the May 15, 2009 "Deadline for amending the pleadings" are taken off calendar. July 2, 2009 2. On June 18, 2009, a Case Management Conference ("CMC") be held before this Court at 3:30 PM. June 25, 2009 3. On or before June 8, 2009, the parties will file a joint CMC statement reporting progress on the settlement and, if applicable, suggest any further proposed changes in case related deadlines.
