Pursuant to L.R. 7-1, Plaintiff Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and Defendants

2

Timothy J. Muir and The Muir Law Firm, LLC (“Muir Defendants”) hereby stipulate to stay all

3

proceedings and deadlines in this case as to the Muir Defendants. In support of this stipulation,

4

the FTC and the Muir Defendants state as follows.
1.

5

FTC counsel and the Muir Defendants have reached possible resolution of this

6

matter against the Muir Defendants which would dismiss, with prejudice, the current proceedings

7

against those defendants.
2.

8

The FTC is an independent federal agency. All dismissals recommended by FTC

9

counsel must be voted on by the full Commission. The process may take several weeks or more.

10

If the Commission approves the motion to dismiss, the FTC will submit a motion and proposed

11

order to dismiss the Muir Defendants to the Court for approval.
3.

12

Any continued proceedings as to the Muir Defendants while the Commission is

13

conducting its approval process would, therefore, constitute a waste of judicial time and

14

resources, as well as those of the undersigned parties.
4.

15

17

This stipulation and the relief requested apply only to defendants Timothy J. Muir

and The Muir Law Firm, LLC.
