Upon review of the stipulation and proposed order submitted by the parties to stay the
case, the Court orders as follows:
1.

Aside from briefing and hearing on the Motion to Remand, proceedings in this

13

action are STAYED to permit the parties an opportunity to pursue settlement discussions. A

14

hearing on the Motion to Remand is set for October 16, 2014 at 1:30 p.m. The plaintiff shall file

15

its reply brief on or before September 25, 2014. Except for the Motion to Remand, all pending

16

motions are DENIED without prejudice and associated filing deadlines and hearing dates are

17

VACATED. The motions may be refiled following a lift of the stay and resolution of the Motion

18

to Remand. Dates associated with the initial case management conference are also VACATED.

19

2.

The parties may request referral to a magistrate judge, or a mediator appointed

20

through the Court's ADR program, for settlement purposes. To ensure timely utilization of the

21

Court's dispute resolution resources, the parties should submit this request within 21 days.

Regardless, the Court does not envision granting a further continuance of the hearing on the

23

Motion to Remand.
