LAWRENCE J. O'NEILL, District Judge.

Plaintiff United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC" or "Plaintiff") and Defendants Braun Electric Company ("Defendant"), through their respective counsel of record, hereby stipulate pursuant to Rules 16 and 26 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure as follows:

1. Good Cause to Extend Discovery Deadlines

Pursuant to the Local Rules, the parties have engaged in good faith settlement discussions and believe that a mediation conference may produce a settlement in this matter. As part of the settlement efforts, the parties, including representatives from Braun Electric and the Regional Attorney for the EEOC, have agreed to attend an in person mediation to attempt to resolve this matter prior to trial. Due to scheduling conflicts, the earliest date for all parties to attend the mediation is June 5, 2014. The parties believe that an extension of the pretrial and trial dates will allow the parties to devote their resources and attention to a successful settlement of this matter.

2. Stipulation to Extend Discovery Deadlines

The parties stipulate that the Scheduling Order be amended to reflect the following new deadlines:

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
