Transfer Venue. Given the outstanding motions and their possible effect on this litigation, the

2

Parties believe that the possibility of settlement at this juncture is remote and that ADR

processes would not be fruitful in resolving the issues between the Parties. The Parties agree to

re-visit the availability and possible benefit of ADR to this litigation after the Court enters its

5

orders with respect to the pending Motions to Dismiss and Transfer Venue.

6

STIPULATED AND AGREED that the Parties wish to have this case removed from the

ADR Multi-Option program in order to conserve the court’s and parties’ resources.
