STIPULATION AND ORDER REGARDING MEDIATION SCHEDULING AND ORAL ARGUMENT ON MOTION FOR DECERTIFICATION

MICHAEL J. SENG, District Judge.

I. STIPULATION AND JOINT MOTION

The parties have diligently pursued arrangements for mediation since appearing for a STIPULATION AN ORDER REGARDING MEDIATION SAVITT BRUCE & WILLEY LLP Status Conference with Judge Boone, and now have identified a mediator acceptable to all parties and have scheduled mediation with that mediator for June 21, 2013, the first date on which all necessary counsel, parties, and the mediator are available.

The parties note that this mediation is several weeks after the deadline for mediation (May 31, 2013) established by Judge Boone, and only a few days prior to the date currently set for oral argument of defendants' motions to decertify and for a trial plan.

The parties therefore respectfully request and suggest that this Court (a) extend the deadline for mediation to June 21, 2013, and (b) re-schedule oral argument on defendants' pending motions, as jointly stipulated to and requested below. The requesting scheduling adjustments may facilitate the non-judicial resolution of this matter and, should mediation fail, will allow the Court adequate time for review of the submittals on the pending motion prior to oral argument.

The parties to the above-captioned matter, through their respective counsel of record, hereby stipulate to and jointly request the following dates for mediation and for oral argument on the pending motions:

SO STIPULATED:

II. [PROPOSED] ORDER

ORDER

Based on the foregoing stipulation, the Court hereby orders that the parties in action NO. 1:09-cv-01247-MJS shall observe the following dates for mediation and for oral argument on the pending motions:

IT IS SO ORDERED.
