ORDER
Complaint Filed: March 25, 2009
Trial Date: None
Hearing: April 12, 2013
Plaintiffs LORA AND CLAY WOLPH ("PLAINTIFFS") and Defendant ACER AMERICA CORPORATION ("Acer America") hereby submit the following Joint Request to Extend Deadline to Submit Briefing Regarding Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class Action Settlement (Docket No. 170) ("Joint Request to Extend Deadline") in the above-captioned proceeding:
WHEREAS on January 16, 2013, Plaintiffs filed their Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class Action Settlement ("Motion for Preliminary Approval") (Docket No. 169);
WHEREAS on February 26, 2013, the Court entered its Order Requiring Further Briefing Regarding Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class Action Settlement and Continuing Hearing ("Order Requiring Further Briefing) (Docket No. 170);
WHEREAS the Court's Order Requiring Further Briefing sets a March 15, 2013, deadline for Plaintiffs to submit further briefing and continued the hearing on Plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Approval until April 12, 2013;
WHEREAS Plaintiffs and Defendant have been working diligently to negotiate an amendment to the Settlement Agreement that will hopefully address many, if not all, of the concerns that are raised in the Court's Order Requiring Further Briefing. The parties have made progress in their negotiations and believe they will reach an agreement on an amendment to the Settlement Agreement. However, the parties do not believe they will have a final amendment to the Settlement Agreement in time for Plaintiffs to submit their further briefing on March 15, 2013. The parties therefore respectfully request that the Court grant Plaintiffs one additional week, until March 22, 2013, to submit further briefing regarding the Settlement Agreement.
WHEREAS Plaintiffs and Acer America agree that the deadline for Plaintiffs to submit further briefing regarding the Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class Action Settlement should be extended to March 22, 2013;
THE PARTIES STIPULATE AND AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. The deadline for Plaintiffs to submit further briefing regarding Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class Action Settlement shall be extended to March 22, 2013.
IT IS SO STIPULATED
