Edmondson, et al. v. RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc., et al.,
Case No. 16-cv-2242 (VEC)

Dear Judge Caproni:
We represent Plaintiffs and write jointly with Defendants’ counsel to respectfully request
a 60-day stay of all proceedings in this action, including the Court’s issuance of any order on the
parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment. Though the parties appreciate this matter has
been pending for some time, recent significant developments with respect to Defendants’
insurance coverage have made potential resolution of this action a legitimate possibility. The
parties are currently working together to either schedule a mediation or to negotiate a resolution,
and they can jointly inform the Court of the mediation date as soon as it is scheduled.
The parties thank the Court for its attention to these matters.
Respectfully,
THE CASAS LAW FIRM, P.C.
