STIPULATION TO EXTEND DEADLINE TO CONDUCT RULE 26(f) CONFERENCE AND TO SUBMIT JOINT STATUS REPORT FROM APRIL 20, 2015 TO JULY 6, 2015; ORDER

JOHN A. MENDEZ, District Judge.

RECITALS

The Court's Order Requiring Joint Status Report [Dkt. No. 6] (the "Order") compels the Plaintiffs and the Defendants (together, the "Parties") to conduct the Rule 26(f) conference and to submit a joint status report within 60 days of the February 19, 2015 removal of this action. As a result, the deadline for the Parties to submit a joint status report is April 20, 2015.

Plaintiffs filed a Motion to Remand ("Motion") on March 24, 2015. Plaintiffs selected a hearing date of May 6, 2015, the earliest available hearing date on the Court's calendar. Defendants may oppose the Motion.

The Court's ruling on the Motion may render the submission of a joint status report moot, because if the Court grants the Motion, no joint status report will be necessary.

In order to avoid unnecessary expense, the Parties wish to extend the deadline for conducting the Rule 26(f) conference and submitting a joint status report from April 20, 2015 to and including July 6, 2015 (60 days after the May 6 hearing on the Motion). This is the first request for an extension of this deadline.

STIPULATION

The Parties hereby stipulate to an extension of the deadline for conducting the Rule 26(f) conference and submitting a joint status report from April 20, 2015 to and including July 6, 2015. BOUTIN JONES, INC.

GOOD CAUSE HAVING BEEN SHOWN, the Court orders that the deadline for the Parties to conduct the Rule 26(f) conference and to submit a joint status report be extended from April 20, 2015, to and including July 6, 2015.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
