STIPULATED REQUEST FOR ORDER ENLARGING TIME PURSUANT TO CIVIL L.R. 6-2; ORDER
WILLIAM H. ORRICK, District Judge.
WHEREAS, on February 13, 2014, Counsel for Plaintiff Asterias and Defendant ViaCyte jointly filed a Stipulated Request for Order Enlarging Time Pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-2 (D.I. 55) in order to modify the schedule to accommodate ongoing settlement discussions.
WHEREAS, on February 14, 2014, the Court set the following schedule (D.I. 56):
Event Dates
Case Management Conference April 22, 2014
Mediation Completion (ADR L.R. 6-3) April 30, 2014
WHEREAS, the principals for Plaintiff Asterias and Defendant ViaCyte have continued to engage in ongoing potential settlement discussions. Party representatives met in person on February 19, 2014 and principals are continuing to confer in good faith. Consequently, the parties are proposing to reset the dates for completion of mediation pursuant to ADR L.R. 6-3, and the Case Management Conference so that the parties may have an opportunity to more fully explore the ongoing efforts to resolve the case before mediation and for the Case Management Conference to be held after the mediation in order to better inform the Court of the status of the case. Pending this Court's agreement to a short postponement, counsel for the parties have agreed to hold the mediation in this matter on Monday, June 9, 2014.
WHEREAS, although the parties have jointly requested previous modifications of time (see D.I. 32, 37, 51, and 55), the current proposed modification to the dates set for the Case Management Conference and Mediation Completion will not affect any other currently set dates.
Accordingly, the parties respectfully request that the following dates apply:
Event Dates
Case Management Conference June 10, 2014
Mediation Completion (ADR L.R. 6-3) June 30, 2014
NOW THEREFORE, IT IS STIPULATED AND AGREED that the date for the Case Management Conference be reset to June 10, 2014. The following dates would therefore apply:
Event Dates
Case Management Conference June 10, 2014
Mediation Completion (ADR L.R. 6-3) June 30, 2014
ORDER
PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED. The Court is very unlikely to continue this matter further, and expects a Joint Case Management Statement to be filed by the parties on or before June 3, 2014 that sets forth a proposed case management schedule in the event the case does not settle prior to that date.
