JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED]

ORDER CONTINUING CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE


Judge: Honorable Edward M. Chen

Joint Stipulation & [Proposed] Order Case No. CV 11-1892-EMC

Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 6-1(b), 6-2, and 7-12 for the Northern District of California, Defendants Payless ShoeSource, Inc. and Collective Brands, Inc. and Plaintiff National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA (collectively with the Defendants, the "Parties"), by and through their respective counsel, submit this Joint Stipulation and [Proposed] Order Continuing Case Management Conference (the "Stipulation").

WHEREAS, on July 28, 2011, the Court entered an order scheduling a Case Management Conference ("CMC") for October 7, 2011 and requiring the Parties to file a joint case management statement by September 30, 2011 (Dkt. No. 20);

WHEREAS, on September 22, 2011, the Court entered an order referring this matter to

private Alternative Dispute Resolution ("ADR") (Dkt. No. 24);

WHEREAS, on October 3, 2011, the Court entered the Parties' Joint Stipulation and [Proposed] Order Continuing Case Management Conference, which reset the CMC to February 2, 2011 to allow the Parties sufficient time to conduct private ADR (Dkt. No. 28);

WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed to a private mediator;

WHEREAS, given the mediator's calendar, and the desire of the Parties to coordinate the mediation jointly with parties to an action in another forum involving substantially the same issues, the Parties have scheduled a mediation to take place on March 6, 2012;

WHEREAS, in order to avoid incurring unnecessary costs and expending the Court's time unnecessarily, the Parties wish to continue the CMC and related deadline to file a joint case management statement until after the conclusion of the scheduled ADR, in the event it does not result in the resolution of this dispute;

NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES JOINTLY STIPULATE TO, AND REQUEST THE COURT TO ORDER, THE FOLLOWING:

1. The CMC shall be continued until 30 days after conclusion of the March 6, 2012 private ADR to which the Court has referred this matter;
2. The currently-scheduled deadline to file a joint case management statement by February 3, 2012 shall be vacated and rescheduled;
3. By entering into this Stipulation, the Parties do not waive, and expressly preserve, any and all rights, claims and defenses, including all defenses relating to jurisdiction, venue and arbitrability.

Respectfully submitted,
