ORDER DISCHARGING THE ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE DATED MAY 28, 2019 (DOC. 39) AND GRANTING THE PARTIES AN EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE THE STIPULATION

JENNIFER L. THURSTON, Magistrate Judge.

Previously, the parties filed a "Joint Notice of Settlement," indicating they agreed to settle the action and anticipated filing a stipulation for dismissal within sixty days. (Doc. 37 at 1) Accordingly, the Court directed the parties to file a stipulated request for dismissal no later than May 24, 2019. (Doc. 38) After the parties failed to file a stipulation regarding dismissal, the Court ordered the parties to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed for their failure to comply with the Court's order. (Doc. 39)

On June 11, 2019, Plaintiff and Defendants filed separate responses to the Court's order, each indicating the parties required more time than anticipated to finalize the terms of the settlement. (Docs. 40, 41) According to Defendants, on May 23, 2019, their counsel advised Plaintiff that the "final requested revisions to the settlement agreement were acceptable," and Defendants requested "Plaintiff to forward the executed settlement agreement so that the settlement payment could be processed." (Doc. 40 at 2) Plaintiff's counsel, Aanchal Sanghvi, reports the agreement was sent to Kern County for signature, and the Board's review of the agreement "should be completed soon."1 (Doc. 41 at 2) Defendants report they will "need thirty days from the receipt of the executed settlement agreement to process the settlement payment." (Doc. 40 at 2) Thus, Plaintiff requests the parties be given an extension of sixty days to file the joint statement, which would allow for time to "fully execute the agreement" and for Defendants to process the settlement payment. (Doc. 41 at 2)

Based upon the information provided by the parties, the Court ORDERS:

The parties are advised that failure to comply with this deadline may result in the Court imposing sanctions, including the dismissal of the action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
