STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER RE: MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S AUTHORITY TO ENTER DISCOVERY AND SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE PREPARATION ORDERS

Plaintiffs, Hung Tran and Gene Jovich, and Defendant, Southern Wine & Spirits of America, enter into this Stipulation based on the following facts:

1. On December 5, 2011, the Court entered an Order referring this case to a randomly selected Magistrate Judge for a settlement conference to be completed by March 2, 2012, and further providing that "[l]imited discovery in aide of settlement shall be allowed."

2. Subsequently, the parties have been informed by the Clerk's office that the Hon, Nandor J. Vadas was assigned as the Magistrate Judge to conduct the settlement conference.

3. The parties have met and conferred with regard to the nature and extent of further limited discovery and other preparations that will enhance the likelihood of a productive settlement conference to be conducted by the Magistrate Judge.

4. The parties agree that an Order of the Court clarifying Judge Vadas' authority to issue orders with regard to the necessary and appropriate limited discovery to be allowed, and other matters in preparation for the settlement conference, would assist Judge Vadas in carrying out his assignment on the reference.

THEREFORE, Plaintiffs and Defendant jointly stipulate and request that the Court should enter the Order set forth below, clarifying Judge Vadas' authority to enter necessary and appropriate orders relating to limited discovery and other settlement conference preparations.

Respectfully submitted,

GOLDSTEIN, DEMCHAK, BALLER, BORGEN &

DARDARIAN
