ORDER1
SHERI POLSTER CHAPPELL, District Judge.
This matter comes before the Court on Defendant CVS Pharmacy, Inc.'s Agreed Motion for Stay (Doc. #47) filed on August 26, 2014. The parties request staying this matter for 90 days. The parties indicate they are in the process of discussing a settlement agreement and wish to avoid approaching discovery deadlines and correlated litigation costs. Upon consideration, the Court is unwilling to stay this matter 90 days for the mere possibility of a settlement. When discovery is delayed and settlement is not reached, a stay only prolongs the case. At times, delaying a case creates case management problems, a risk the Court is unwilling to take. There is no good cause to stay this matter for 90 days at this time.
As an aside, if the Parties, however, reach a settlement but need additional time to finalize the settlement agreement, then the Court will administratively close the case pursuant to Local Rule 3.05(b) and thus allow the Parties additional time to formalize a settlement agreement.
Accordingly, it is now
ORDERED:
Defendant CVS Pharmacy, Inc.'s Agreed Motion for Stay (Doc. #47) is DENIED.
DONE AND ORDERED.
