Defendants.
_____________________________________/
On May 2, 2011, Defendants filed (1) a motion for judgment on the pleadings seeking to dismiss

17

the complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction and (2) a motion for partial summary judgment with

18

respect to counts 1 and 10. ECF Nos. 32, 33. Subsequently, in order to aid the settlement

19

negotiation process, the court granted the parties’ joint requests to continue the hearing. See ECF

20

Nos. 38, 47, and 50. In the parties’ most recent joint request to continue the hearings, they explained

21

that Plaintiffs are pursuing outside financing to fund the settlement. Stipulation, ECF No. 49 at 1-2.

22

The court granted the request and continued the hearing to December 15, 2011. Order, ECF No. 50

23

at 2. Now, in Plaintiffs’ opposition brief, they explain that the parties have a tentative settlement in

24

place but that they continue to search for financing. ECF No. 51 at 26.

25

Also, the parties now jointly request that the court extend the discovery deadlines. Stipulation,

26

ECF No. 55 at 2. They explain that they stayed discovery through the date of the filing to focus on

27

settlement negotiations but will need additional time to prepare for trial if a settlement agreement

28

cannot be reached. Id.
