NOW THEREFORE, the Parties, through their counsel of record, hereby STIPULATE and AGREE as follows: 1. This stipulation does not constitute a waiver of, or otherwise impair, Plaintiff's right to name at a later time Michael Saltman d/b/a Minxx as a party-defendant should Plaintiff have a good-faith basis to so name Michael Saltman d/b/a Minxx as a party-defendant. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 KAEMPFER CROWELL RENSHAW GRONAUER & FIORENTINO Seventh Floor 3800 Howard Hughes Parkway Las Vegas, Nevada 89169 2.
