THIRD STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO CONTINUE CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE [CIVIL L.R. 6-2, 7-12] The

EDWARD M. CHEN, District Judge.

This case presently is scheduled for a Case Management Conference on Thursday, June 5, 2014. The Joint Case Management Conference Statement is due on May 29, 2014. The parties respectfully request that the Court continue the Case Management Conference until Thursday, August 7, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. or to a date convenient to the Court thereafter for the following reasons:

1. This case involves a dispute over an American Arbitration Award ("Award") in favor of Respondent Tres Tech Corporation ("Tres Tech").

2. On August 2, 2013, the Court stayed this action pending resolution of related litigation over the same Award taking place in the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division ("Texas Court"). ECF 43.

3. The Texas Court subsequently remanded to the arbitration panel to clarify the Award, which the arbitration panel did, and the parties to the Texas action have completed briefing on whether the Award will be confirmed or vacated. That matter is now under submission to the Texas Court and the parties to that action do not know when the Texas Court will issue its ruling.

4. The parties to this action believe that this Court's time and resources, as well as their time and resources, will be conserved if the Texas Court's ruling is issued before taking any further action in this case, and the effect of this continuance will be to advance that objective. All briefing is completed on the motions in the Texas Action and the parties thereto are awaiting a hearing date and/or an order from the Texas Court.

5. The CMC in this case previously was reset by the Clerk's notice from August 22, 2013 to February 6, 2014. ECF 44. The Court has previously extended the CMC to April 17, 2014 at the parties' request for substantially the same reasons as set forth above. ECF 47. The Court then extended the CMC to the present date of June 5, 2014 at the parties' request for substantially the same reasons as set forth above. ECF 49.

Accordingly, the parties to this action hereby respectfully request that the Court continue the Case Management Conference currently scheduled to take place on June 5, 2014 until Thursday, August 7, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. in the Courtroom of the Honorable Edward M. Chen, Courtroom 5-17th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102, or to a date convenient to the Court thereafter.

SO STIPULATED.
