Stipulation and [Proposed] Order re Scheduling of Case Management Conference

KANDIS A. WESTMORE, Magistrate Judge.

Stipulation

Whereas, Plaintiff filed an initial complaint in this action on March 29, 2016, and subsequently personally served that complaint and the associated summons on Defendant on May 16, 2016; and

Whereas, the Parties on June 1 stipulated that in light of Plaintiff's intention to file an amended complaint Defendant's obligation to respond to the original complaint would be extended to 21 days from the filing of that amended complaint (Docket No. 13); and

Whereas, the Court on June 27 continued the case management conference previously scheduled for June 28 until August 23, and directed the parties to file a case management conference statement by August 16 (Docket No. 17); and

Whereas, Defendant was until recently represented by counsel but is no longer represented by counsel and desires additional time to seek and retain counsel prior to filing a case management statement and participating in a case management conference; and

Whereas Plaintiff's counsel does not oppose the provision of a reasonable amount of additional time in fairness to the Defendant (and assume the gesture would be reciprocated if Plaintiff needed additional time at some point); Therefore, the parties stipulate, subject to the approval of the Court, as follows:

1. The Case Management Conference currently set for August 23, 2016 at 1:30 p.m. is continued until October 18, 2016 at 1:30 p.m.;

2. The August 16, 2016 deadline for filing a Case Management Statement is extended until October 11, 2016.

3. No other dates or stipulations shall be modified.

[Proposed] Order

In light of the parties' stipulation, and good cause appearing, the Court orders as follows:

2. The August 16, 2016 deadline for filing a Case Management Statement is extended until October 11, 2016; and

3. No other dates or stipulations are modified.
