This case was filed on May 5, 2009. In the nearly ten months since then, the parties have confined their efforts to a motion to dismiss and mediation. No party has served any discovery to date. 2. At the Initial Case Management Conference on January 15, 2010, in recognition of the parties' ongoing mediation attempts and the possible futility of discovery if mediation proved successful, the Court stayed discovery pending its further order. 3. The final mediation session took place on February 17, 2010, and it was unsuccessful. No further mediation is contemplated at this time. 4. The parties have now turned their focus to the litigation, which they can only advance by means of discovery. AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, all parties hereby stipulate that the stay of discovery entered in this case on January 15, 2010, should be lifted and ask the Court to so order.
