Plaintiffs,

BRANDON STUERKE (also known as “Leroy
Brandon Stuerke”), an individual
15
(FIFTH REQUEST)
Defendant.

Plaintiffs and Defendant stipulate and agree, subject to Court approval, as follows:
18
1.
19
20
The parties are interested in the possibility of participating in the Court’s early neutral
evaluation with mediation before a U.S. magistrate judge.
2.
However, due to the fact that the parties do not reside in Nevada and there may be
21
jurisdictional objections if the matter is not resolved, they request that they be permitted to exchange
22
proposals for potential settlement prior to making a final decision to formally enter the Court’s
23
mediation program, allowing them to better determine whether they may be able to reach a
24
settlement through mediation before committing the additional resources to travel to participate in
25
mediation, and that the Court clearly articulate that participating in the program will NOT waive any
26
jurisdictional or other defenses or submit any party to the jurisdiction of the Court which is not
27
already subject thereto.
28
3.
The parties thus request that they be allowed to proceed as follows:
1
Case 2:16-cv-02526-KJD-GWF Document 41 Filed 11/30/17 Page 2 of 3
1
a. The parties will exchange settlement proposals no later than Friday, December 15,
2
2017, and any counter-proposals no later than Friday, December 22, 2017.
3
b. The parties shall notify the Court on or before December 29, 2017, of one of two
4
options:
5
i. They seek to formally participate in the Court’s mediation program; or
6
ii. They do not seek to participate in the mediation program, and, accordingly, a
7
response to the current petition to compel arbitration shall be filed by
8
Defendant on or before January 12, 2018.
9
4.
The parties agree, subject to the entry of an order approving this stipulation, that
10
participation by the parties in mediation to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, shall not be considered a
11
basis for personal jurisdiction or service of process in Nevada upon any party.
12
DATED on this 30th day of November, 2017.
