STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER EXTENDING THE DEADLINE TO FILE JOINT LETTER BRIEFS TO COMPEL, IF NECESSARY

DONNA M. RYU, Magistrate Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between the parties to this action, through their respective counsel of record, as follows:

Discovery closed on September 16, 2014, and pursuant to the relevant local rule of court the current deadline to file discovery motions is September 23, 2014. Plaintiff and Defendants are meeting and conferring regarding: Plaintiff's responses to Defendants' written discovery; Plaintiff's responses to the request for production of documents served with his deposition notice, and Defendants' responses to Plaintiff's request for production of documents. The parties respectfully request an extension of the deadline to file joint letter briefs in connection with the disputed discovery to September 30, 2014.

There is good cause for the extension because the responses at issue were only recently received by counsel for the respective parties. The parties are attempting to meet and confer in an effort to narrow the issues and to resolve the matter informally without this Court's intervention. The five court-day extension will not have any effect on the upcoming court deadlines or the trial date.

IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.
