(THIRD REQUEST)

Plaintiff Snap Lock Industries, Inc. (“Snap Lock”) and Defendant Swisstrax Corporation

21

(“Swisstrax”) (collectively, “Parties”), through their undersigned counsel, hereby respectfully jointly

22

submit this Joint Stipulated Motion to Stay Case Deadlines Pending Settlement Discussions, and state

23

as follows:

24

1.

On March 8, 2017, the Parties filed a Joint Stipulated Motion to Stay Case Deadlines

25

Pending Settlement Discussions (the “Stay Motion”) (ECF No. 116), advising the Court that the Parties

26

have agreed to engage in a settlement conference or mediation in an attempt to resolve this dispute,

27

and that they anticipated that the conference or mediation would be completed by May 6, 2019. The

Case 2:17-cv-02742-RFB-BNW Document 125 Filed 06/20/19 Page 2 of 4

1

Parties requested that the Court stay all case deadlines until after the settlement conference or mediation

2

in order to preserve resources of the Court and the Parties in the event that the settlement negotiations

3

dispose of the dispute.
2.

5

On March 14, 2019, the Court entered an order granting the Stay Motion. See ECF No.

3.

4

Although the Parties subsequently agreed on a mediator, they were not able to secure a

119.

6
7

mediation date prior to the May 6, 2019, deadline, as previously contemplated. As a result, on March

8

27, 2019, the parties filed their Joint Stipulated Motion to Stay Case Deadlines Pending Mediation

9

(“Second Stay Motion”). See ECF No. 121.
4.

10
11

On April 1, 2019, the Court entered an order granting the Second Stay Motion, and

scheduled a status check for June 25, 2019, at 9:00 a.m. See ECF No. 123.
5.

12

On June 7, 2019, the Parties participated in a mediation before the Honorable Judge Pro

13

(Ret.) in Las Vegas, Nevada. Although the Parties were unable to resolve their dispute during the June

14

7 mediation, settlement discussions are ongoing and the Parties are currently actively involved in

15

attempting to resolve the dispute.
6.

16

As such, the Parties respectfully request that the stay of case deadlines be extended to

17

the week of July 29, 2019, or to the Court’s earliest convenience after that time, to allow the Parties to

18

dedicate their efforts to the potential settlement of this dispute. The Parties also request that the June

19

25, 2019, status check be taken off calendar and rescheduled to the week of July 29, 2019, or to the

20

Court’s earliest convenience after that time. The Parties submit that this request will preserve judicial

21

and party resources in the event that settlement negotiations dispose of the case.

8.

Good cause exists for this request. Staying the case deadlines will preserve the

2

resources of both the Court and the Parties in the event that the ongoing settlement negotiations dispose

3

of this dispute. The Parties are not seeking the extensions for purposes of undue delay.
