(together, the "Parties"), by and through their undersigned attorneys, hereby enter into this Joint Stipulation to continue the hearing on Plaintiff's Application for Right to Attach Order and Writ of Attachment (Dkt. 15), currently set for hearing on March 27, 2015 at 3:00 p.m. in Courtroom 7 of the above captioned court.

WHEREAS, on January 7, 2015, Plaintiff filed an application for a Right to Attach Order and Writ of Attachment ("Writ of Attachment") and noticed the hearing date for February 18, 2015 (Dkt. 15);

WHEREAS, on February 12, 2015, the Court vacated the February 18, 2015 hearing on the Writ of Attachment (Dkt. 25);

WHEREAS, on March 19, 2015, Court set the hearing on Plaintiff's Writ of Attachment for March 27, 2015 (Dkt. 29);

WHEREAS, the Parties have been actively engaged in settlement discussions and request a continuance of the hearing date so that they may focus their efforts on settlement before the hearing on and resolution of Plaintiff's Writ of Attachment; and

WHEREAS, the Parties request that the Court appoint a neutral or magistrate judge to facilitate the Parties' settlement discussions. The Parties do not believe the procedures set forth in the Eastern District's Voluntary Dispute Resolution Program are necessary given the significant progress that the Parties have already made toward a resolution.

Now, therefore, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the Parties as follows:

1. The hearing on Plaintiff's Writ of Attachment, currently set for March 27, 2015, is continued to April 17, 2015 at 3:00 p.m. so that the Parties may focus their efforts on settlement.
