JAMES L. ROBART, District Judge.
STIPULATION
BY STIPULATION AND AGREEMENT, the Plaintiffs and the Defendants in the above-captioned matter (collectively, the "Parties"), by and through their respective counsel of record, hereby stipulate as follows and request that the Court grant the specified relief:
1. The Court's Minute Order Setting Trial Dates and Related Dates require the Parties to attend a settlement conference no later than November 14, 2019 (Dkt #102).
2. The Parties engaged a mediator (Ms. Teresa Wakeen) to attempt mediation, which had been scheduled for October 19, 2019. However, after interactions with counsel, the mediator cancelled the mediation and recommended that the Parties proceed instead through a settlement conference with a judge.
3. Accordingly, the Parties now jointly request that the Court appoint a settlement judge to convene a settlement conference pursuant to Local Civil Rule 39.1(e).
