STIPULATED REQUEST AND [PROPOSED] ORDER FOR CONTINUANCE OF FURTHER CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE AND UPDATED CMC STATEMENT
EDWARD M. CHEN, District Judge.
STIPULATION
Plaintiffs Mary Jennings Hegar, Jennifer Hunt, Alexandra Zoe Bedell, Colleen Farrell and Service Women's Action Network and Defendant Ashton B. Carter, Secretary of Defense ("Secretary") (collectively, "the parties"), by and through their respective counsel, submit this Stipulated Request and Proposed Order for a continuance of the Case Management Conference (CMC) scheduled for April 2, 2015, and deadline for the parties' updated joint CMC Statement, which is currently due March 26, 2015. Defendant respectfully requests a continuance of the CMC to April 23, 2015, and the deadline for the parties' updated joint CMC Statement to April 9, 2015, and the Plaintiffs stipulate to such request. Defendant submits that the following facts and circumstances set forth in the attached Declaration of counsel for Defendant Caroline Lewis Wolverton, establish good cause for the requested continuance as follows:
1. On November 13, 2014, the Court scheduled the further CMC in this matter for March 19, 2015, and ordered the parties to provide an updated joint CMC Statement by March 12, 2015. ECF No. 39.
2. Subsequently, Ms. Wolverton scheduled a family trip for the week of March 23, 2015, to coincide with her children's school spring break.
3. On January 27, 2015, the Court rescheduled the further CMC to April 2, 2015, and ordered the parties to provide an updated joint CMC Statement by March 26, 2015. (Dkt. Entry of Jan. 27, 2015)
4. The current March 26, 2015 deadline for the updated joint CMC Statement falls during the week of Ms. Wolverton's prescheduled family trip.
5. The requested continuance of the further CMC to April 23, 2015, and the updated Joint CMC Statement to April 9, 2015 would eliminate the conflict the current updated joint CMC Statement deadline presents for Ms. Wolverton.
6. Plaintiffs' counsel would have a conflict with the further CMC being rescheduled to April 9, 2015, as that date falls during the Passover holiday.2 The Court's scheduling notes on the Court website indicate that the Court is unavailable on April 16, 2015.
7. In light of the foregoing, Defendant respectfully requests that the Court continue the Case Management Conference to April 23, 2015, and the deadline for the parties' updated joint CMC Statement to April 9, 2015.
[PROPOSED] ORDER
Pursuant to the stipulated request, and based on good cause shown, it is hereby
ORDERED that the Stipulated Request and [Proposed] Order for Continuance of Further Case Management Conference and Updated CMC Statement is hereby GRANTED; and it is further
ORDERED that the further Case Management Conference is CONTINUED to April 23, 2015, at 10:30 a.m. and the deadline for the parties Updated Joint CMC Statement is CONTINUED to April 9, 2015.
IT IS SO ORDERED AS MODIFIED.
