JON S. TIGAR, District Judge.
Pursuant to ADR L.R. 6-5, Plaintiff Ervan Darnell ("Plaintiff") and Defendant Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("MetLife" or "Defendant") (collectively, "the Parties"), through their respective attorneys, hereby jointly stipulate to extend the deadline to complete mediation from February 14, 2018 until April 20, 2018. As grounds for this extension, the Parties stipulate as follows:
1. Good cause exists for an extension of the mediation deadline. The parties have not yet scheduled the mediation, but anticipate that it can be completed before the new deadline of April 20, 2018. Defendant's counsel will be out of the office during the first two weeks of February due to the death of a family member, a previously scheduled vacation February 2 through 11, and then has a trial scheduled in the San Francisco Superior Court starting on February 13.
I, Linda B. Oliver, am the ECF User whose identification and password are being used to file this document. I hereby attest that the concurrence to the filing of this document has been obtained from each signatory hereto.
PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the deadline to complete the mediation is extended from February 14, 2018 to April 20, 2018.
