September 10, 2010. See D.E. #s 91, 92. The Court, by its own motion, later moved the hearing date a week further until September 17, 2010. See D.E. #93. Baker's and DCI's respective principals have reached out to each other to discuss Baker's current status as a franchisee of DCI and a potential resolution of their grievances against each other. The parties' settlement efforts continued between DCI principal Marshall Fisco and Baker's directly and an agreement between the parties has been reached. On

September 14, 2010, Mr. Fisco emailed a Settlement Agreement to Baker's which contained the terms Baker's and DCI had agreed to. The parties expect that the Settlement Agreement will be executed within the next week and therefore ask the Court to continue the Case Management Conference one last time. Based on the foregoing, and in the interests of judicial economy, to preserve the parties' resources, and to facilitate the final settlement of this matter, the Parties respectfully request that the Court continue the Initial Case Management Conference from September 17, 2010 at 8:30 a.m. to October 9, 2010 at 8:30 a.m. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, BAKER's BOUQUET, INC., and Defendant, DESIGNED COOKIES, INC., respectfully request that this Honorable Court enter an Order: (i) granting the instant Stipulation Continuing Initial Case Management Conference; and (ii) granting such other ///

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed this 15th day of September 2010 in Napa, Napa County, California.
