JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO STAY PROCEEDINGS
CASE NO. 3:17-cv-03485-RS

1

WHEREAS, on June 15, 2017, Via Licensing Corporation (“Via”) filed a Complaint for

2

Breach of Contract Seeking Damages and Specific Performance (the “Complaint”) against Haier

3

America Trading, LLC (“HAT”) in the above-entitled action;

4

WHEREAS, on November 20, 2018, the parties signed a confidential settlement term

5 sheet (the “Settlement Term Sheet”) and agreed to work together to prepare a formal settlement
6 agreement consistent with the terms set forth in the Settlement Term Sheet;
7

WHEREAS, among other terms the Settlement Term Sheet requires HAT and related

8 entities to perform certain obligations on or before December 31, 2018, (collectively, the “Haier 2018
9 Obligations”);
10

WHEREAS, the Settlement Term Sheet contemplates that within three business days of

11 performance of the last of the Haier 2018 Obligations, the parties shall file a stipulation of dismissal
12 without prejudice which shall request that the Court retain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the
13 Settlement Term Sheet or, if superseded by a formal settlement agreement, the terms of the formal
14 settlement agreement;
15

WHEREAS, this case is scheduled for a trial commencing on December 10, 2018, and

16 there are numerous interim deadlines in connection with this action;
17

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, between Via and

18 HAT, by and through their respective counsel, that:
19

1.

In light of the agreements reached in the Settlement Term Sheet, all proceedings

20 in the above-captioned action shall be stayed until January 31, 2019, and all currently-set deadlines
21 vacated, to allow the parties time to prepare a formal settlement agreement, and to allow time for the
22 performance of the Haier 2018 Obligations;
23

2.

If for some reason, the parties do not file a stipulated dismissal by January 7, the

24 parties request that the Court set a case management conference at the next earliest available date in
25 January 2019 to discuss the case and set new deadlines as necessary.
