MINUTE ORDER
ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KRISTEN L. MIX
This matter is before the Court on the parties' Joint Motion for Extension of Stay of Proceedings and to Vacate and Re-set Hearing on Defendants' Motion for Preliminary Injunction [Docket No. 92; Filed August 7, 2012] (the "Motion to Extend") and on Defendants' Motion to Dismiss Amended Complaint or, in the Alternative, to Transfer Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) [Docket No. 23; Filed August 15, 2011] (the "Motion to Dismiss"). A stay imposed by the Court on June 21, 2012 expired on August 6, 2012. See Minute Order [#90]. The parties have notified the Court that they hope to settle this matter by August 31, 2012 and therefore seek an extension of the stay through that date. Accordingly,

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Motion Hearing on Defendants' Motion for Preliminary Injunction [#63] set for August 15, 2012 at 8:30 a.m. is VACATED and RESET to September 19, 2012 at 1:30 p.m. in Courtroom C-204 of the Byron G. Rogers United States Courthouse.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that any amendments to the already-filed joint witness and exhibit lists shall be filed on or before September 14, 2012.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that on or before September 12, 2012, counsel shall notify my courtroom deputy of any need for special accommodations for any attorney, party or witness, and of any need for technological equipment, for the purposes of presenting evidence or otherwise.
