STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER CONTINUING CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

EDWARD J. DAVILA, District Judge.

Pursuant to Civil L.R. 7-12, the parties, by and through their undersigned counsel of record, submit the following stipulation and proposed order.

WHEREAS, on September 4, 2012, the Court denied Celera's motion to dismiss the Second Amended Consolidated Complaint of Lead Plaintiff Washtenaw County Employees' Retirement System (Dkt. No. 65);

WHEREAS, the Court's September 4, 2012 Order scheduled a Case Management Conference on October 26, 2012 at 10:00 a.m., and directed the parties to file an updated Joint Case Management Statement on or before October 19, 2012;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which governs this action, discovery in this action was stayed during the pendency of Defendants' motion to dismiss (15 U.S.C. 78u-4(b)(3)(B));

WHEREAS, pursuant to Rule 26(d)(1), the parties are prevented from serving discovery in this action until the parties have conferred pursuant to Rule 26(f);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Court's September 4, 2012 Order and Rule 26(f)(1), the parties' Rule 26(f) conference deadline is currently October 5, 2012;

WHEREAS, by Order dated September 14, 2012 (Dkt. No. 67), the Court extended Defendants' time to answer or otherwise respond to the Second Amended Consolidated Complaint until October 19, 2012;

WHEREAS, in light of Defendants' representations that they need more time to prepare for the Rule 26(f) conference and the Rule 16 Case Management Conference as a result of the current October 19, 2012 deadline for Defendants to answer or otherwise respond to the Second Amended Consolidated Complaint, and in light of the complexity of the issues, the parties believe that good cause exists to continue the Case Management Conference from October 26, 2012, to November 9, 2012, or a date thereafter that is convenient for the Court;

WHEREAS, the undersigned counsel for Lead Plaintiff represents that she is unavailable on November 15 and 16, 2012 due to a previously scheduled hearing in another matter pending in the Southern District of New York and requests that the Case Management Conference not be scheduled on these dates;

WHEREAS, if the Court grants the parties' requested continuance, the parties would submit their updated Joint Case Management Statement on or before November 2, 2012;

WHEREAS, if the Court grants the parties' requested continuance, counsel for the parties have agreed to hold their Rule 26(f) conference on October 10, 2012;

WHEREAS, it would conserve judicial and party resources and promote efficiency and economy to hold the Case Management Conference in this action after Defendants' answer is filed, Lead Plaintiff has reviewed the answer, and the parties have adequately addressed scheduling, discovery, and the additional case management topics of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(f) and Local Rules 16-9 and 16-10;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Local Rule 6-2(a)(2), the following are the previous time modifications in this action: (i) July 8, 2010 Order (J. Ware) extending Defendants' time to respond to the Complaint until after the appointment of Lead Plaintiff (Dkt. No. 7); (ii) November 2, 2010 Order (J. Ware) continuing the case management conference from November 15, 2010 to March 7, 2011 (Dkt. No. 27); (iii) February 18, 2011 Clerk's Notice continuing the hearing on Defendants' motion to dismiss and the case management conference from March 7, 2011 until March 28, 2011 (Dkt. No. 36); (iv) March 24, 2011 Order (J. Ware) vacating the hearing on Defendants' motion to dismiss and continuing the case management conference, and also setting a schedule for the filing of, briefing of, and hearing on Lead Plaintiff's Second Amended Consolidated Complaint (Dkt. No. 40); (v) June 16, 2011 Order (J. Davila) setting a schedule for the filing of, briefing of, and hearing on Lead Plaintiff's Second Amended Consolidated Complaint (Dkt. No. 47); (vi) November 23, 2011 Order (J. Davila) continuing the case management conference scheduled for December 2, 2011 (Dkt. No. 61); and (vii) September 14, 2012 Order (J. Davila) extending time for Defendants to answer or otherwise respond to the Second Amended Consolidated Complaint (Dkt. No. 67); and

WHEREAS, the continuance of the Case Management Conference will not affect any other deadlines or events in this action except as otherwise set forth above.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED among the undersigned parties as follows:
