STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE DISPOSITIVE MOTIONS AND RESPONSES AND REPLIES THERETO
(FIRST REQUEST)
PEGGY A. LEEN, Magistrate Judge.
Pursuant to LR IA 6-1, LR IA 6-2, and LR 7-1 and 26-4, Plaintiff Corey Wells ("Plaintiff") and Defendants Eldorado Resorts Corporation ("Eldorado") and Michael Marrs ("Marrs") (collectively "Defendants"), by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate and agree to this first request for extension of time for the parties to file dispositive motions in this action, along with related responses and replies. Pursuant to the Court's July 1, 2016, Order for Extension of Discovery Deadlines (ECF No. 44), the current deadline for filing dispositive motions in this case is August 30, 2016 (see id. at 6). The parties have completed all discovery in this matter, and good cause exists for the proposed extension based upon the following:
On August 11, 2016, the parties participated in an Early Neutral Evaluation Conference ("ENE") before the Honorable Magistrate Judge George Foley, Jr., in the related case of Villarreal v. Eldorado Resorts Corp., et al., Case No. 2:14-cv-01415-RFB-PAL. (See Mins. of Proceedings, ECF No. 97.) Although no settlement was reached, the parties advised the Court that a global settlement conference and continuation of the ENE session would potentially advance the goal of settlement. The Court has, therefore, set a global settlement conference for October 12 and 13, 2016, again before Magistrate Judge Foley. (See id.) An extension of the deadline to file dispositive motions, responses, and replies in this case similarly advances the goal of settlement by allowing the parties to conserve resources pending those settlement discussions and to streamline and focus the litigation and issues leading up to that conference. Based upon the foregoing, the parties have agreed that the dispositive motion deadlines should be extended in the following manner:
• Defendants shall file their dispositive motions no later than September 15, 2016;
• Plaintiff shall file any response to Defendants' motion no later than November 15, 2016;
• Defendants shall file their reply no later than December 15, 2016.
This stipulation is not brought for purposes of delay or any other improper purpose. Dated this 12th day of August, 2016. Dated this 12th day of August, 2016.
ORDER
IT IS SO ORDERED.
