STIPULATION TO CONTINUE SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE; AND ORDER

KENDALL J. NEWMAN, Magistrate Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between plaintiffs Breanna Cooke, et al., ("Plaintiffs") and Jeremy Edens, et al., ("Defendants"), by and through their attorneys of record, that GOOD CAUSE exists and the parties respectfully request that the Court continue the Settlement Conference, in the above-entitled action presently set for Wednesday, August 24, 2016 at 9:30 a.m. to a new date of Wednesday, January 18, 2017 at 9:30 a.m. During the pendency of this case, counsels for the parties have worked diligently to prepare their cases in accordance with the Court's Pretrial Scheduling Order issued on July 22, 2015. Despite the parties' best efforts, the parties still have to work through preliminary written discovery Responses and scheduling depositions of the witnesses in this case. Furthermore, evaluating the case and the themes of the litigation cannot adequately be completed without the information from these key depositions.

As such, the parties cannot conduct a meaningful Settlement Conference until preliminary written discovery Responses and depositions have been completed.

Based on the foregoing, the parties respectfully request that this Court continue the Settlement Conference to a new date of Wednesday, January 28, 2017 at 9:30 a.m.

ATTORNEY ATTESTATION

I hereby attest that I have on file all holograph signatures for any signatures indicated by a conformed signature ("/s/") within this E-filed document or been authorized by all counsel to show his or her signature on this Stipulation as/s/.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
