STIPULATED MOTION TO CONTINUE DEADLINE TO SUBMIT JOINT STATUS REPORT AND DISCOVERY PLAN AND PROPOSED ORDER

MARSHA J. PECHMAN, District Judge.

Plaintiff Quality Products, Inc. ("Plaintiff" or "Quality Products") and Defendants Verka Food Products, Ltd., Verka Food International Ltd., and Gagandeep Singh Matta (collectively "Defendants") herby submit this Stipulated Motion to continue the deadline to submit their Joint Status Report and Discovery Plan which is currently due December 11, 2017. For the Court's convenience, the parties have attached a Proposed Order.

Defendants were served with the complaint on November 16, 2017. On November 27, 2017, Plaintiff's counsel and Mr. Matta held a phone conference in which they discussed items in Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(f) and Local Civil Rule 26(f)(1). On that date, Defendants were not yet represented by counsel. Subsequently, Defendants retained FisherBroyles LLP. On December 5, 2017, the parties filed a Stipulation, and on December 6, 2017, the Court entered an Order, extending to December 26, 2017, Defendants' deadline to respond to the Complaint.

Plaintiff provided its draft of the Combined Joint Status Report and Discovery Plan ("the Report") to Defendants' counsel on December 11, 2017. Because Defendants' counsel did not meet and confer with Plaintiff's counsel, the parties believe that it would be beneficial to extend the filing deadline for the Report to allow for a second meet and confer and to allow Defendants' counsel sufficient time to contribute to the Report.

In light of the above, the parties request a brief continuance of the deadline to file a Combined Joint Status Report and Discovery Plan from December 11, 2017 to December 18, 2017, or to another date the Court deems appropriate.

ORDER

Based on the foregoing stipulated motion of the parties and good cause appearing, therefore it is so ordered that the time for the parties to file their Combined Joint Status Report and Discovery Plan is hereby extended to December 18, 2017.
