Plaintiff Levi Strauss & Co. ("LS&Co.") and defendant Bestford USA, Inc. ("Bestford") jointly submit this stipulation and proposed order concerning the case deadlines to complete courtsponsored mediation and to serve all defendants. On July 21, 2010, this Court issued an order referring this case to mediation and setting a deadline of 90 days from the date of the order to complete the mediation. The Initial Case Management Conference was held on August 4, 2010. The Court subsequently issued an order setting case management deadlines, including a deadline of October 29, 2010, to serve all defendants. The Court's Notice of Appointment of Mediator was filed on September 3, 2010. LS&Co. and Bestford have now scheduled their mediation for November 16, 2010. The parties are hopeful that if the mediation is successful, LS&Co. will not need to litigate its claims against any defendants. However, if the dispute is not resolved, LS&Co. will require additional time in which to serve defendant Bestford (Hong Kong) Limited, which is located in Hong Kong. Accordingly, and in order to allow time for settlement efforts to proceed, the parties hereby stipulate and agree that (1) the deadline to complete the court-sponsored mediation will be extended to November 19, 2010; and (2) the deadline for LS&Co. to serve defendants will be extended to December 31, 2010.
