DISCUSSION

By its Amended Order Setting Trial Date & Related Dates, the Court set the deadline for the parties to file their respective dispositive motions by November 6, 2018. ECF No. 36. Both Costco and Arrowood had advised one another that they intend to file dispositive motions. This case involves materials that have been designated "confidential" under a Stipulated Protective Order entered into this action on January 11, 2018. ECF No. 16. Upon advising one another of their intent to file dispositive motions, the Parties began a meet and confer process under the protective order and LCR 5(g) with regard to items that may require filing under seal or redaction. In an effort to reach agreement on what materials may need to be filed under seal or be subject to limited redactions, and to withdraw certain items as Confidential before filing the Parties are negotiating the submission of a joint motion to file under seal pursuant to Local Rule 5(g)(2)(B). The Parties therefore respectfully request that the Court briefly extend the deadline for the parties to file the joint motion to file under seal and their respective dispositive motions from November 6, 2018 to November 8, 2018.

The Parties have further met and conferred regarding extending the briefing schedule for the dispositive motions by one week given the upcoming holiday schedule. The Parties therefore respectfully request that the Court extend the briefing schedule as follows:
