JOINT MOTION TO STAY ALL CASE DEADLINES FOR THIRTY DAYS

(FIRST REQUEST)

GLORIA M. NAVARRO, Chief District Judge.

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6 and Civil Local Rules 6-1 and 6-2, Plaintiffs Aristocrat Technologies, Inc., Aristocrat Technologies Australia Pty Ltd., and Aristocrat International Pty Ltd. (collectively, "Aristocrat") and Defendants AGS LLC and PlayAGS, Inc. (collectively, "Defendants") respectfully move the Court to stay this matter for 30 days. The parties have been engaged in productive settlement discussions, and the parties anticipate reaching a final settlement of this matter within the next 30 days.

The parties therefore seek a 30-day stay of all case deadlines, including without limitation deadlines for responding to outstanding discovery requests and Aristocrat's deadline for filing objections to the Court's Order denying Aristocrat's motion to strike (ECF No. 36). This will allow the parties to seek to conclude the settlement in a prompt manner, and it will avoid the cost and impact of ongoing litigation, as well as any waste of judicial resources. This is the parties' first request for such a stay.

If the Court grants this joint request and the parties are unable to finalize a settlement, the parties will file a joint status report within 30 days of the Court's order. The joint status report will inform the Court of the status of the settlement discussions and propose new deadlines for any events that were stayed.

For these reasons, the parties respectfully request that the Court grant this joint motion and stay all deadlines for 30 days.

ORDER

In light of the parties' Joint Motion, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this case is STAYED. All pending deadlines are hereby extended by thirty (30) days from the signing of this Order.
