Plaintiffs Sharidan Stiles and Stiles 4 U, Inc. ("Plaintiffs") and Defendants Walmart Inc. and American International Industries (collectively, "Defendants"), by and through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate as follows:
WHEREAS, on June 4, 2019, the parties met and conferred on the current case schedule; and
WHEREAS, the parties submit this joint stipulation to the Court for an extension of all operative deadlines in the case schedule established in the Stipulated Discovery Schedule and Order (ECF No. 146) by six (6) months; and
WHEREAS, given the recent order allowing substitution of new counsel for Plaintiffs and the pending motions, the parties agree that such an extension best serves the interests of the Court and the parties in efficiently managing the issues in the case; and

WHEREAS, the parties further request the Court set a case management conference immediately following the currently calendared hearing on Defendants' Joint Motion for Reconsideration of Order Denying Motion to Dismiss Antitrust Claims, or in the Alternative, for Judgment on the Pleadings (ECF No. 193) on June 13, 2019, or as soon thereafter as is convenient for the Court. The parties would like the opportunity to address the need for additional scheduling deadlines given the factual and legal issues presented by the claims in this matter; and
WHEREAS, the parties propose they will submit a joint statement on Monday, June 10, 2019 (or no later than three (3) business days prior to the case management conference if it is set at a later date). Such statement will not exceed two (2) pages and will address the need for additional deadlines in this matter and make proposals for said deadlines.
THEREFORE, THE PARTIES, BY AND THROUGH THEIR RESPECTIVE UNDERSIGNED COUNSEL, HEREBY STIPULATE, AND THE COURT ORDERS AS FOLLOWS:
All operative deadlines in the case schedule as outlined in the Stipulated Discovery Schedule and Order (ECF No. 146) are extended six (6) months.

The parties shall submit a joint statement, not to exceed two (2) pages, on Monday, June 10, 2019, addressing the need for additional deadlines in this matter and making proposals for said deadlines.

ORDER
Pursuant to the Parties' Stipulation (ECF No. 226), and for good cause, all operative deadlines in the case schedule as outlined in the Stipulated Discovery Schedule and Order (ECF No. 146) are EXTENDED six (6) months. However, the Parties' request for a case management conference on June 13, 2019, immediately following a hearing on Defendants' Joint Motion for Reconsideration (ECF No. 193), is DENIED without prejudice as moot given that the hearing on Defendants' Motion was continued to July 25, 2019. ECF No. 228. In requesting a case management conference, the Parties stipulate that they would like the opportunity to address the need for additional scheduling deadlines given the factual and legal issues presented by the claims in this matter. The Court advises that modifications to scheduling deadlines are typically best addressed via stipulations if agreed upon by all Parties, or via noticed motions if contested.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
