CONSENT MOTION TO RESCHEDULE ORAL ARGUMENT
Defendant hereby moves to reschedule oral argument on its Motion
to Dismiss, currently
scheduled for February 7, 2013, in order to facilitate ongoing
settlement talks between the
parties. Counsel for defendant has conferred with counsel for
plaintiff pursuant to Local Civil
Rule 7(m), and counsel for plaintiff indicates that plaintiff
concurs with the requested relief.
Following the January 10, 2013, Status Conference, the parties
have continued to engage
in settlement talks. Without divulging the substance of those
talks, the talks are progressing
sufficiently such that the parties believe that further talks
may be fruitful. Accordingly, the
parties believe that, in order to enable the parties to focus
their efforts on settlement and avoid
the potentially unnecessary expenditure of judicial resources,
the hearing on the Motion to
Dismiss should be rescheduled for the week of April 15, 2013, or
at such other time as may be
convenient for the Court and the parties. The parties will
submit a joint status report to the Court
