`
`Defendant, Choon’s Design Inc., by its attorneys, Freemann Law Offices A Professional
`
`Corporation and Carison, Gaskey & Olds, P.C., and Plaintiff, Tristar Products, Inc., by its
`
`attorneys, Bakos & Kritzer, hereby stipulate and agree that, subject to court approval, all further

`
`
`
`Case 2:14-cv-01254-JLL-JAD Document 15 Filed 06/11/14 Page 2 of 3 PageID: 111
`
`Tristar’ s motion to dismiss due to lack of subject matter jurisdiction that will be filed in the next
`
`week in Michigan.
`
`1. Choon s Design LLC filed a patent infringement suit against Defendant in the Eastern
`
`District of Michigan. [Case No.: 2:14-cv-10848-VAR-MAR, Dkt. No. 1].
`
`2. Tristar Products, Inc. filed this declaratory judgment action in New Jersey after
`
`Choon’s Design, LLC filed the patent infringement suit. [Dkt. No. 1].
`
`3. Tristar Products, Inc. filed a motion to transfer the Michigan suit to New Jersey. [Case
`
`No.: 2:14-cv-10848-VAR-DRG, Dkt. No. 12].
`
`4. On May 8, 2014, Honorable Victoria A. Roberts of the Eastern District of Michigan
`
`issued an order denying the motion to transfer. [Case No.: 2:14-cv-10848-VAR-DRG, Dkt. No.
`
`18].
`
`5. Tristar intends to file a motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s patent infringement case in the
`
`Eastern District of Michigan on or before June 16, 2014, alleging that the Michigan Court lacks
`
`subject matter because Choon’ s Design, Inc. was the owner of the patents-in-suit at the time the
`
`Complaint was filed by Choon’s Design, LLC.
`
`6. The parties have agreed to stay this lawsuit pending resolution of the motion to dismiss
`
`in Michigan. For these reasons, the parties jointly request that all further proceedings in this
`
`matter shall be stayed until further order of this Court, pending resolution of the motion to
`
`dismiss in Michigan.
