JOINT STIPULATION AND CONSENT SCHEDULING ORDER

WILLIAM B. SHUBB, District Judge.

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs filed their Complaint on August 17, 2017 and their First Amended Complaint on April 12, 2018;

WHEREAS, on December 13, 2017, the Court entered a Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order (ECF No. 10);

WHEREAS, discovery commenced in December 2017;

WHEREAS, the parties sought a previous modification of the Scheduling Order because discovery moved more slowly than anticipated (ECF No. 20), which modification the Court granted (ECF No. 22);

WHEREAS, the parties necessitate additional time to conduct discovery in an efficient manner;

WHEREAS, the parties also wish explore settlement discussions, without upcoming litigation deadlines impeding the possibility of a settlement;

WHEREAS, in light of the above, the parties agree that additional time is necessary to conclude settlement discussions, including, if the parties later agree, through Local Rule 271's Voluntary Dispute Resolution Program; and

WHEREAS, this is the parties' second request for an extension of any deadline in the Court's Pre-Trial Scheduling Order (ECF No. 10);

THE PARTIES JOINTLY CONSENT TO and request that the Court enter an order modifying certain dates in the Order Modifying the Pre-Trial Scheduling Order (ECF No. 22), as follows:

* or at the Court's earliest convenience thereafter.

All other dates listed in the Pre-Trial Scheduling Order (ECF No. 10) shall remain in place.

It is so ORDERED.
