ROBERT S. LASNIK, District Judge.

Kallas of Judicial Dispute Resolution (JDR), LLC on January 9, 2020. The parties report that they have made progress in their discussions to date and are continuing that effort in coordination with Judge Kallas, who is actively involved in continuing to work with the parties.
The parties were required to submit a status report to the Court today (Dkt. #87), and, given the progress and continuing efforts with Judge Kallas, the parties jointly and respectfully request an additional 21 days to continue their effort and that the Court allow them to provide a further status report on February 14, 2020 regarding whether they have reached an agreed resolution.
The parties further jointly and respectfully seek leave of the Court to renote Plaintiff's Motion for Class Certification of Breach of Contract Claim for consideration on April 3, 2020 (it is currently noted for March 13) and continue the associated response and reply deadlines to March 23 and April 3, respectively.
The parties, therefore, stipulate and jointly and respectfully request that the Court enter the proposed Order submitted with this Motion.
So Stipulated and Respectfully Submitted this 24th day of January, 2020.
