THEREFORE, IT IS STIPULATED AND AGREED by Plaintiffs and Defendants, through their respective counsel of record, as follows, subject to the approval of this Court:
This action, including the deadline for Plaintiffs to file the Amended Consolidated Shareholder Complaint, shall be stayed while the parties discuss the potential resolution of Plaintiffs' claims.
Any party may lift the stay at any time by providing written notice to the other parties and the Court. Plaintiffs shall have 60 days after the date of such notice to file the Amended Consolidated Shareholder Complaint, without waiver of Plaintiffs' ability to seek additional time, on a showing of good cause, including the opportunity to review documents in response to their Petition for Writ of Mandate, and without waiver of Defendants' ability to object. Defendants shall have 45 days from the filing of the Amended Consolidated Shareholder Complaint to file a responsive pleading. If Defendants file a motion in response to the Amended Consolidated Shareholder Complaint, Plaintiffs' opposition shall be filed within 30 days of any such motion, and any reply brief shall be filed within 21 days of the opposition.
The case management conference scheduled for March 15, 2012, at 10:00 a.m., is vacated while the parties discuss the potential resolution of Plaintiffs' claims.
As long as this action is stayed, the parties will file with the Court a brief update of the status of their efforts to resolve Plaintiffs' claims at least every 90 days.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
