VALERIE P. COOKE, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff Red Whale, LLC and defendant Blue Whale Coffee Company LLC (together, the "Parties"), by and through their undersigned counsel of record, hereby stipulate and agree to the entry in the above-captioned action (the "Action") of an order excusing client representatives from attending the Status Conference presently set for July 17, 2018 (see Dkt. No. 40), based on the following:
1. The Parties engaged in a Settlement Conference on November 6, 2017 and the Court entered Minutes of Settlement Conference entered on this same date (DE 35) (the "Settlement Order").
2. In compliance with the Settlement Order, the Parties submitted a Joint Status Report on February 15, 2018 (Dkt. No. 36) and a Second Joint Status Report on May 7, 2018 (Dkt. No. 39).
3. In addition, this Court conducted a telephonic conference with counsel for the Parties on March 5, 2018 regarding the First Joint Status Report (see Dkt. No. 38).
4. On June 22, 2018, this Court set a Status Conference for July 17, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. and instructed that all Parties and their counsel are to attend the conference in-person (see Dkt. No. 40).
5. In the interim, counsel for Blue Whale sent an email to counsel for Red Whale on June 11, 2018, wherein Blue Whale reported that it "closing shop for good at the end of this month" and that "the doors will likely be closed for business before the . . . hearing date."
6. Insofar as Blue Whale is reporting that it is ceasing its business operations, and that counsel for Blue Whale will report on said status at the scheduled Status Conference on July 17, 2018, the Parties stipulate that client representatives for Red Whale and Blue Whale need not attend the Status Conference.
7. Therefore, the Parties respectfully request that this Court enter an Order excusing client representatives from attending the Status Conference set for July 17, 2018.
8. For the sake of reducing costs of travel from Las Vegas to Reno, counsel for Red Whale further requests that this Court enter an Order permitting him to attend said Status Conference telephonically.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
