STIPULATION TO EXTEND DISCOVERY CUTOFF; ORDER

TROY L. NUNLEY, District Judge.

Plaintiff OLGA AVTENIEVA ("Plaintiff") and Defendant RANDSTAD GENERAL PARTNER (US), LLC ("Defendant"), by and through their counsel, subject to the court's approval, hereby stipulate as follows:

1. The First Amended Complaint in this action was filed on January 27, 2017.

2. On May 3, 2017, the Court issued its Pre-Trial Scheduling Order and set a discovery cut-off date of March 1, 2018, a dispositive motion deadline of September 6, 2018, and a trial date of February 4, 2019.

3. Since May 3, 2017, the parties have engaged in written discovery and have scheduled several depositions including the depositions of Plaintiff, and Randstad employees Laurence Fouques and Emily Salerno for November and December 2017.

4. The parties also engaged in mediation through the Voluntary Dispute Resolution Program on August 16, 2017, but were not able to resolve this matter.

5. Due to the upcoming maternity leave of Defendant's counsel Sumithra R. Roberts, Esq., and the schedule of Defendant's counsel Lindsay L. Fitch, and the constraints on scheduling the depositions of at least five additional witnesses around the country, the parties wish to extend the discovery cutoff to June 15, 2018. Because this new cutoff falls three months before the dispositive motion deadline, the parties do not believe this extension will force a change in any other scheduled dates, including the trial date.

NOW, THEREFORE, SUBJECT TO THE COURT'S APPROVAL, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

1. The deadline for completion of discovery only shall be extended to June 15, 2018.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

ORDER

The undersigned has considered and approves the Stipulation to Extend the Discovery Cutoff to June 15, 2018.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
