`
`
`JOINT MOTION FOR STAY PENDING SETTLEMENT
`Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b)(4), Plaintiff Neo
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Wireless, LCC and Defendants Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. and
`
`Volkswagen Group of America Chattanooga Operations, LLC (“Volkswagen”)
`
`hereby jointly request a one month stay of all obligations and deadlines set out in
`
`the Court’s Scheduling Order (Dkt. 84), as to Volkswagen only.
`
`
`
`Neo and Volkswagen have reached an agreement in principle to settle the
`
`case and resolve their dispute, and expect to jointly move to dismiss the case in
`
`short order. However, because of the holidays, the parties need additional time to
`
`fully finalize a formal settlement agreement. Thus, the parties request a one month
`
`stay to enable the parties to finalize the agreement, while avoiding burdening the
`
`Court or the parties with unnecessary discovery practice in the meantime. As soon

`
`as the parties’ formal settlement is finalized, the parties will shortly thereafter file
`
`a Joint Motion to Dismiss. If for some reason the parties cannot finalize the
`
`agreement by January 15th, counsel for the parties will request a conference with
`
`the Court and jointly propose an adjusted case schedule for Volkswagen only that
`
`does not disrupt the deadlines for any other Defendant or the deadlines for
`
`dispositive and Daubert motions currently set forth in the Scheduling Order.
