STIPULATION
Pursuant to Civil L.R. 7-12, Plaintiff PAUL SOMERS (“Plaintiff”), for himself, and Defendants
4
DIGITAL REALTY TRUST, INC. (“Digital”) and ELLEN JACOBS (collectively “Defendants”), by
5
and through their undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate and agree as follows:
6
WHEREAS, on March 30, 2017, Digital filed a Motion for Temporary Stay Pending Petition for
7
Writ of Certiorari Proceedings (“Motion”), requesting that the Court temporarily stay proceedings in this
8
matter until the U.S. Supreme Court disposes of Digital’s forthcoming petition for writ of certiorari, Dkt.
9
No. 202;
10
WHEREAS, Plaintiff initially advised Digital that he opposed the requested stay, but has since
11
retained the law firm of Stris & Maher LLP, a well-respected litigation boutique, to represent him in
12
proceedings before the U.S. Supreme Court;
13
WHEREAS, Defendants have now agreed to further expedite the filing of their certiorari
14
petition, and have also agreed to waive the 14-day waiting period for filing a petition-stage reply (see S.
15
Ct. R. 15.5), thereby ensuring a timely distribution for the Justices’ June 15 conference;
16
WHEREAS, Plaintiff now agrees that a short stay would promote his interests pending the
17
Supreme Court’s disposition of Digital’s petition, and that such a stay would conserve the resources of
18
the parties and the Court;
19
THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE AND RESPECTFULLY
20
REQUEST THAT THE COURT ORDER a temporary stay of district-court proceedings in this case
21
pending the Supreme Court’s disposition of Digital’s petition for writ of certiorari, and that the hearing
22
scheduled on Digital’s Motion be taken off-calendar.
