TO THE CLERK OF THE ABOVE-ENTITLED COURT AND TO ALL PARTIES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE ATTORNEYS OF RECORD:

WHEREAS, this case has been assigned for early disclosures and mediation under General Order 56, and the parties to this stipulation want to make best efforts to settle this case without unnecessary litigation; and

WHEREAS, Defendants Kiman Moon and Jeung Sun Moon ("Defendants") filed their answer on June 1, 2017, and therefore Plaintiff's deadline for filing a motion under FRCP 12(f) to strike insufficient defenses from the answer of Kiman Moon and Jeung Sun Moon is June 22, 2017 (i.e. 21 days later); and

WHEREAS, Plaintiff and Defendants have been unable to resolve their disagreements about Defendants' answer informally, however, they wish to avoid the necessity of Plaintiff filing a Rule 12(f) motion unless/until mediation pursuant to General Order No. 56, Paragraph 7 does not succeed;

THEREFORE:

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and among Plaintiff and defendants Kiman Moon and Jeung Sun Moon, that the deadline for Plaintiff to file any motion with respect to the answer filed by Kiman Moon and Jeung Sun Moon under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(f) be extended to 21 days past the date that the mediator certifies that the mediation under General Order 56 has been completed. It is also stipulated that (1) Plaintiff and these defendants Kiman Moon and Jeung Sun Moon shall meet and confer within seven (7) days after the mediation has been certified as completed; (2) that these Defendants shall thereafter be allowed an opportunity to voluntarily amend their answer prior to Plaintiff filing any rule 12(f) motion; (3) that any amended answer shall be filed no later than seven (7) days after Plaintiff and defendants Kiiman Moon and Jeung Sun Moon meet and confer.
