STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO CONTINUE PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION HEARING DATE
WILLIAM ALSUP, District Judge.
On June 9, 2015, at a court-ordered settlement conference before Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Laporte, Plaintiff Secretary of Labor and Defendants National Consolidated Couriers, Inc. and Tanweer Ahmed (collectively, "the parties") agreed to a settlement in principle. The Secretary is currently finalizing a proposed consent judgment to be exchanged with Defendants. Defendants consider the resolution of the pending contempt proceeding to be a material term of the settlement, and represent that requiring Defendants to proceed with the contempt proceeding runs the risk of undermining the parties' agreement. To allow adequate time to negotiate the language of the consent judgment, the parties hereby stipulate and jointly request that the Court continue the preliminary injunction hearing currently calendared for June 19, 2015 at 8:00 a.m. three weeks.
The consent judgment and concurrently filed complaint will be a separate case, but the parties intend to file a joint administrative motion under Civ. L.R. 3-12 requesting that the Court treat the new case as related to the present matter.
[PROPOSED] ORDER
PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, the preliminary injunction hearing calendared for June 19, 2015 at 8:00 a.m. is continued until July 16, 2015 at 8 a.m./p.m.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
