STIPULATION AND REQUEST FOR CONTINUANCE OF INITIAL SCHEDULING CONFERENCE; ORDER THEREON

ERICA P. GROSJEAN, Magistrate Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between plaintiff Carlos Ornelas ("Plaintiff") and defendant Home Depot U.S.A., Inc. ("Home Depot"), by and through their attorneys of record, that good cause exists and the parties request that the Court continue the initial scheduling conference presently scheduled for October 19, 2018 for the following reasons:

1. Counsel for Home Depot will be on vacation with no access to a telephone from October 13, 2018 through October 21, 2018.

1. This request for a continuance of the initial scheduling conference was not made sooner because Counsel for Home Depot mistakenly believed that the initial status conference (which was scheduled prior to the Court's issuance of its order denying Plaintiff's Motion to Remand) was vacated and that a new scheduling conference was going to be scheduled.

2. Upon realizing that the originally scheduled conference date had not been vacated, counsel for Home Depot notified Plaintiff's counsel of the conflict in her schedule, and Plaintiff's counsel agreed to stipulate to a continuance of the initial scheduling conference to October 25, 2018, at 10:00 a.m.

Based on the foregoing, the parties respectfully request that the Court continue the initial scheduling conference to October 25, 2018.

IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.

ORDER

The Court, having reviewed the Stipulation of the parties and finding good cause, hereby issues an Order to continue the initial status conference from October 19, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. to October 25, 2018, at 10:00 a.m.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
