JOINT STIPULATION FOR AN ORDER CONTINUING THE SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE; [PROPOSED] ORDER; CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE

[First Request]

PEGGY A. LEEN, Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") and Defendant Wynn Las Vegas, LLC ("Wynn"), by and through their undersigned counsel, respectfully stipulate and request that the Court continue the settlement conference presently scheduled in this case for October 25, 2018. In support of this stipulation and request, the parties state as follows:

1. On July 10, 2018, District Judge Boulware denied Wynn's Motion for Summary Judgment and the EEOC's Motion for Partial Summary Judgment. (ECF No. 38). District Judge Boulware ordered both parties to be referred to the Magistrate Judge for the purposes of scheduling a settlement conference. (Id.).

2. On July 24, 2018, this Court ordered a settlement conference for October 25, 2018 at 1:30 p.m. (ECF No. 42). The Court further ordered that all counsel of record who will be participating in the trial and who have full authority to settle this case must be present at the settlement conference. (Id.).

3. The undersigned counsel of record and trial counsel for the EEOC represents that he has a scheduling conflict which necessitates a request to continue the October 25, 2018 settlement conference into mid-November 2018 or later. Counsel for the EEOC has a trial scheduled for October 29, 2018 in the Southern District of California in the case entitled EEOC v. PC Iron, Inc., Case No. 16-cv-2372-CAB-WVG (S.D. Cal.). Settlement has not been successful and the parties have recently appeared at a final pretrial conference, where the court scheduled the trial for October 29, 2018. Counsel for the EEOC plans to be in San Diego starting around mid-week for trial and witness preparation.

4. Based on the scheduling conflict as represented by EEOC's trial counsel, the EEOC and Wynn stipulate and request that the Court reschedule the settlement conference from October 25, 2018 to a date starting in mid-November 2018. For the Court's convenience, the parties have conferred and are available for a settlement conference on the following dates: November 19, 29, and 30; and December 3, 7, 10, and 13. The parties further request that the deadline to submit confidential settlement statements be extended one (1) week prior to the settlement conference to be scheduled by the Court.

5. This stipulation is the parties' first request to reschedule the settlement conference for the reasons stated; and the stipulation is not for any improper purpose or delay.

ORDER UPON STIPULATION

For good cause shown, IT IS SO ORDERED that the settlement conference shall be rescheduled to November 29, 2018 at 1:30 p.m. The Parties' confidential settlement statements shall be submitted to the Court no later than 10:00 a.m. November 26, 2018.
