SHEILA K. OBERTO, Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC" or "Plaintiff") and Defendant Farmers Insurance Exchange ("Defendant"), through their respective counsel of record herein, hereby respectfully request a continuance of the joint scheduling conference and accompanying deadlines.

On September 30, 2013, the EEOC filed the instant action pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Defendant filed a motion to dismiss the action on January 28, 2014. The EEOC filed its opposition to Defendant's motion on February 24, 2014 and Defendant replied on March 3, 2014. On March 4, 2014, the Court took the matter under submission. (Docket No. 18).

A. Good Cause to Extend Deadline for Submission of Proposed Protective Order

The motion to dismiss is still under submission with the Court. The resolution of the motion to dismiss is necessary for the parties to productively proceed with the Rule 26(f) conference and the joint scheduling conference.

B. Stipulation to Extend Deadlines

As such, the parties stipulate and respectfully request that the joint scheduling conference and attendant deadlines be amended as follows:

1. The joint scheduling conference shall be held on July 8, 2014.

2. The parties shall submit a joint scheduling report to the Court no later than July 1, 2014.

3. The parties shall conduct their Rule 26(f) conference no later than June 18, 2014.
