STIPULATED MOTION TO EXTEND DEADLINE TO FILE PROPOSED DISCOVERY PLAN/SCHEDULING ORDER BY SIXTY (60) DAYS

GEORGE FOLEY, JR., Magistrate Judge.

The parties hereby stipulate and move the Court for an Order extending their deadline to file the Proposed Discovery Plan/Scheduling Order by sixty (60) days, or until June 14, 2019.

Pursuant to the Court's March 1, 2019 Minute Entry (Dkt. #5), the parties' current deadline to file the Proposed Discovery Plan/Scheduling Order is Monday, April 15, 2019.

The reason for the parties' stipulation is that it is not clear at this time whether the Harrah's defendants can be dismissed from this matter without prejudice and/or whether they need to remain in this lawsuit. At this time, the Harrah's defendants have been served, but have not yet Answered or otherwise responded to Plaintiff's Complaint. The Harrah's defendants' Answer or response to Plaintiff's Complaint is due to be filed no later than April 25, 2019.

Extending the deadline for the parties to file their Proposed Discovery Plan/Scheduling Order will give them additional time to resolve this issue, which would bring clarity to the Proposed Discovery Plan/Scheduling Order as well as who the parties are that will be in the lawsuit at that time and who will participate in preparing the Proposed Discovery Plan/Scheduling Order. Extending the deadline would also avoid the parties having to file a second Proposed Discovery Plan/Scheduling Orders, if they determine the Harrah's defendants cannot be dismissed from this matter.

Therefore, with good cause appearing, the parties respectfully move for the Court to grant their stipulation.

ORDER

IT IS SO ORDERED.
