WILLIAM H. ORRICK, District Judge.
The undersigned attorneys for plaintiff Levi Strauss & Co. ("LS&Co.") and defendant Blue in Green, LLC ("Blue in Green"), stipulate as follows:
LS&Co. filed its Complaint on December 7, 2016, and Blue in Green returned its waiver of service of summons on December 12, 2016. LS&Co. is currently attempting to serve the remaining defendants with the Complaint and related filings and papers pursuant to Article 10(a) of the Hague Convention and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(h)(2).
In the meantime, LS&Co. and Blue in Green have discussed settlement, and believe that additional time before an initial case management conference would benefit those discussions. A case management conference is scheduled before the Court on March 7, 2017. In light of LS&Co.'s settlement discussions with Blue in Green, and its ongoing efforts to serve the remaining defendants, LS&Co. and Blue in Green respectfully request that the Court continue the case management conference for four (4) weeks, or until April 4, 2017, at 2:00 p.m. The requested extension will not affect the Court's case management schedule.
Blue in Green's response to the Complaint was due on February 7, 2017, though the parties have extended that deadline by stipulation until February 27, 2017. LS&Co. and Blue in Green now further agree to extend Blue in Green's time to answer the complaint from February 27, 2017, until March 28, 2017. Blue in Green shall not use as a defense against any motion for contempt that LS&Co. stipulated to extend Blue in Green's deadline to answer.
Pursuant to Local Rule No. 5-1(i)(3) regarding signatures, I attest under penalty of perjury that I have on file permission to sign for counsel indicated by a "conformed" signature within this e-filed document.
Pursuant to stipulation, the case management conference scheduled for March 7, 2017, is continued to April 4, 2017, at 2:00 p.m.
In addition, defendant Blue in Green's time to answer the complaint is extended from February 27, 2017, until March 28, 2017.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
