ANDREW P. GORDON, District Judge.
Plaintiff/Counter-Defendants Hoy's Inc, Skill Properties, LLC, James Massengill, Kaylea Massengill, and Haldun Inc., and Defendant/Counterclaimants EBJ & F, Med-Health Pharmaceutical Products, and Edwin Fujinaga ("the Parties") respectfully move the Court for entry of the attached proposed Order for a limited stay of this matter pending approval of the proposed settlement agreement in this matter by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Honorable District Court in Case No. 2:13-cv-1658-JCM-CWH (D. Nev.), and the Honorable District Court in Case No. 2:13-cv-01183-JAD-VCF (D. Nev.).
1. On April 14, 2014, the Parties held a private mediation in this matter and reached an agreement to settle this matter. As there are two separate lawsuits involving the Defendants/Counterclaimants in which injunctions had been entered, the parties' agreement was made contingent upon Court approval in the actions described above.
2. On May 19, 2014, a final settlement agreement was executed by the Parties ("Agreement"). Counsel for Defendants/Counterclaimants immediately transmitted the settlement agreement to counsel for the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is awaiting approval and/or further instruction. It is then the intention of the undersigned to seek formal approval from the District Courts to effectuate and complete the terms of the settlement agreement between the Parties.
3. Upon review and approval by the SEC and the District Court (Case No. 2:13-cv-1658-JCM-CWH), and, if necessary, the Plaintiffs in the Class Action case (2:13-cv-01183-JAD-VCF)
4. There are no disputes between the Parties as to the underlying Agreement or the terms of the Agreement. The need for additional time is related solely to the Defendants/Counterclaimants seeking and obtaining approval from the above-referenced governmental agencies, parties, and Courts, as set forth in the terms of the Agreement. Should the Defendants/Counterclaimants be unable to procure SEC and/or Court approval, it is expected the parties will request a new scheduling order from the Court.
UPON CONSIDERATION of the Parties' Joint Motion to Stay Proceedings and for good cause shown, it is hereby ORDERED that the Joint Motion is GRANTED.
It is further ORDERED that litigation deadlines in this matter are STAYED until August 1, 2014, subject to an amended scheduling order in the event that the settlement agreement is not approved.
