Plaintiffs WB Music Corp., Flyte Tyme Tunes, Meeengya Music, and Mick Dog Music
(“Plaintiffs”), by and through counsel, Snell & Wilmer L.L.P., hereby request that the Court stay
these proceedings in their entirety pending settlement. In support of this request for a stay of these
proceedings, Plaintiffs state as follows:
On April 16, 2018 at 1:30 p.m., the undersigned conducted a telephonic scheduling
conference with Defendants Joseph Delefave and Frederick Hoffman for purposes of discussing a
discovery schedule for this matter and the potential for a resolution. As a result of the scheduling
call, additional calls were set up and communications were sent in an effort to reach a resolution
of this matter without the need for further litigation. After some back and forth negotiation, Mr.
Delefave has confirmed by email the agreement of the Defendants to the essential terms of a

4843-7820-0679

1

settlement proposed by Plaintiffs. The undersigned is in the process of drafting a settlement

2

agreement to finalize the settlement and resolve this matter in its entirety. When settlement is

3

finalized, the parties will file a stipulated dismissal. Given that the parties have effectively settled

4

this matter in its entirety, a stay of further proceedings would be appropriate. If settlement terms

5

are not finalized within 90 days of this Motion, Plaintiffs will submit a status report to the Court

6

providing an update on the status of settlement.

WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully requests that this matter be stayed in its entirety
