The parties in the above-entitled action jointly submit this stipulated request to continue
the Case Management Conference currently set for August 26, 2011, for four weeks, until
September 23, 2011.
Both defendants have now been served, including Dolce & Gabbana S.r.l. located in Italy.
The parties are engaged in active settlement discussions and believe they are close to a resolution.
The parties would like additional time to continue their discussions and hopefully finalize a
settlement.
Accordingly, the parties believe it would be appropriate to continue the further Case
Management Conference for a sufficient amount of time to allow settlement discussions to

proceed. Deferral of the Case Management Conference while the parties negotiate a final

2

settlement would be the most economically efficient for the parties and obviate the need for

3

engaging judicial resources at this time. The parties therefore respectfully request that the Case

4

Management Conference currently set for August 26, 2011, be continued to September 23, 2011.

This request will not affect any other deadline set by the Court.
