MORRISON C. ENGLAND, Jr., Chief District Judge.
Pursuant to Rule 6(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Rule 6-143 of the Local Rules of this Court, plaintiff LODI MEMORIAL HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION, INC. dba LODI HEALTH and defendants AETNA HEALTH PLANS OF CALIFORNIA, INC.; AETNA HEALTH MANAGEMENT, LLC; and AETNA HEALTH MANAGEMENT, INC., hereby stipulate and agree, subject to approval by the Court, that the time for filing their Joint Status Report in this action in accordance with Local Rule 16-240 be extended to 30 days after entry of the Court's order on the pending Motion to Remand Action to State Court. The reason for the requested extension is that the pending motion bears on the subjects of the joint status report and should the court grant the motion, then completion of the report will be rendered unnecessary. This is the parties' first request for such an extension.
Pursuant to the parties' stipulation and good cause appearing therefrom, the time for filing the parties' Joint Status Report is hereby extended to 30 days after entry of the Court's order on the Plaintiff's pending Motion to Remand Action to State Court.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
