STIPULATION AND ORDER EXTENDING TIME FOR INTERESTED PARTY DANA WELCH'S REPLY IN SUPPORT OF ITS MOTION QUASH SUBPOENA (FIRST REQUEST)
Pursuant to LR 6-1, Plaintiff Counter-Defendant Universal Entertainment Corporation (“Universal”), Defendant-Counter-claimant Kazuo Okada (“Okada”), and Interested Parties Dana Welch (“Welch”) and the International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution (hereinafter and collectively, “the Parties”), by and through their respective counsel of records, hereby submit this Stipulation and Order Extending Time for the Reply in Support of the Motion to Quash Subpoena, the filing date of which is currently December 9, 2022. The Parties request an additional 30 days within which Ms. Welch may file her reply brief.
This request is not made for purposes of delay, but rather to allow the Parties an opportunity to attempt to resolve the matter without further Court intervention. Specifically, Defendant-Counter-Claimant Okada has agreed to stipulate to the admissibility of the Arbitration Award, which may eliminate the need for Ms. Welch's testimony. The Parties request the additional time to finalize the factual stipulation between Universal and Okada and resolve any further disputes covered by Ms. Welch's potential testimony.
The Parties anticipate that the requested continuance will resolve the issue, allowing for the withdrawal of the subpoena and the subsequent withdrawal the motion to quash. As such, the extension would not only save resources of the Parties, including Non-Party Ms. Welch, but will conserve judicial resources.
The Parties stipulate and agree to a thirty (30) day extension of time from December 9, 2022, up to and including January 9, 2023, for Interested Party, Dana Welch's Reply in Support of Motion to Quash Subpoena.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
