v.

Case No. 2:20-cv-00754-JAD-EJY
Stipulation to Stay Proceedings Pending
Settlement Negotiations

United States of America,

14

Defendant.

15
16

The parties, through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate to stay the

17 proceedings in this matter.
18

Discovery is currently stayed (ECF No. 21) pending the Court’s ruling on

19 Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 13). The parties are in settlement negotiations
20 and are optimistic that they can resolve this matter. The parties seek to avoid a ruling on
21 the Motion to Dismiss while they explore potential settlement.
22

This is the parties’ first request to stay the proceedings in this matter, and the

23 stipulation is not sought for purposes of delay. Rather, the parties request a stay to permit
24 them to focus their time and resources on settlement discussions. After conferring, the
25 parties believe a stay of 60 days, or until April 25, 2021, should be sufficient.

WHEREFORE, the parties respectfully request that the Court enter an order

2 granting this stipulation and staying the proceedings until April 25, 2021, and that the
3 Court set a Status Conference, at a time and date convenient to the Court, shortly after
4 expiration of the stay.
