JOINT ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION AND STIPULATION TO EXTEND TIME FOR EARLY NEUTRAL EVALUATION

Local Rule 7.11

EDWARD M. CHEN, District Judge.

Pursuant to Local Rule 7.11, Plaintiff Stuart Briggs and Defendant Landon Matson hereby stipulate and jointly request that the Court extend to June 1, 2018 the time in which to hold an Early Neutral Evaluation (see Document 19.) The current 120-day deadline for ENE falls either on April 13, 2018 (if calculated from the date of assignment to ENE — see Document 19) or May 4, 2018 (if calculated from the date the ENE neutral, Randolph W. Hall, was appointed — see Document 21.)

There have not been any previous extensions of time for the ADR process.

The grounds for the motion are that, due to conflicts between the parties' calendars and those of their attorneys, the dates set for the patties' depositions are not until May 14 (Plaintiff Briggs) and May 16 (Defendant Matson.) Mr. Hall has confirmed that, pending a conflicts check, he is available for the ENE tentatively set for May 25, 2018; in an abundance of caution the parties respectfully request that the time period for ENE be extended to June 1, 2018.

So stipulated,
