STIPULATION RE INTERVENTION AND JOINT REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF RULE 26(a) DISCLOSURES AND JOINT STATUS REPORT

MICHELLE L. PETERSON, Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") and Defendant Northwest Wireless Enterprises, LLC d/b/a T-Mobile ("Defendant" or "NWWE"), hereby stipulate as follows:

1. Defendant stipulates to the intervention of Melissa Daniel (ECF Nos. 15-17) in the present suit initiated by the EEOC (ECF No. 1), and that she be permitted to file her complaint in intervention which includes other federal and state law claims via supplemental jurisdiction.

2. In light of the Ms. Daniel's intervention, the EEOC and NWWE jointly request a 45-day extension of the current litigation deadlines to allow NWWE to file an Answer to Ms. Daniel's complaint in intervention: (a) Rule 26(a) initial disclosures, by November 25, 2019; and (b) Joint Status Report by December 2, 2019.

3. The purpose of this extension request is not to create unnecessary delay because the EEOC and NWWE have been diligent in trying to plan litigation, and have convened two separate Rule 26(f) conferences for this purpose on October 10, 2019 and November 12, 2019. In light of the Ms. Daniel's intervention, however, the extension of the current litigation deadlines will allow the parties to jointly plan litigation in the most efficient manner possible, with all necessary parties.
