Plaintiff's motion to vacate the court's sua sponte dismissal is granted. The motion appended an agreement between the parties to vacate the dismissal. In addition, plaintiff's counsel explained that he failed to file the discovery stipulation as the motion court directed in its notices as he expected the outstanding discovery issues to be handled at an upcoming conference. The outstanding issues to be raised at the conference related to discovery was that owed by defendants, not plaintiff. Finally, the record shows no evidence that plaintiff was dilatory at any time during discovery.
