STIPULATION
Plaintiff Chris Hunichen and Defendants LaunchCapital LLC, Woody Benson, and David
Fragale (“Settling Defendants”) stipulate as follows:
Certain deadlines are approaching under the Order Granting Defendants LaunchCapital
LLC and M37 Ventures Inc.’s Motion to Modify Scheduling Order (the “Case Scheduling
Order” Dkt. # 169), including deadlines to file discovery motions, to serve opening and rebuttal
expert reports, to conclude discovery, and to file dispositive motions.
Plaintiff and the Settling Defendants entered into the Stipulation of Class Action
Settlement and Release (the “Settlement”), presented as Exhibit A to the Declaration of Angus
Ni (Dkt. # 206). Pursuant to the Settlement, Plaintiff filed a Motion for Preliminary Approval of
Partial Class-Wide Settlement (“Preliminary Approval Motion” Dkt. # 205), which is pending
before the Court.
The parties to the Settlement have agreed not to pursue discovery or any other actions
against each other while seeking approval of the Settlement. The preliminary approval order, if
signed, will affirm paragraph 88 of the Settlement, thereby staying all proceedings herein against
the Settling Defendants pending entry of an order finally approving the Settlement.
The parties to the Settlement therefore stipulate that the remaining deadlines in the Case
Scheduling Order should be vacated with respect to the Settling Defendants only, pending the
Court’s decision on the Preliminary Approval Motion.
