STANLEY A. BASTIAN, District Judge.
Before the Court is the parties' Third Stipulation and Order Regarding Jury Trial Scheduling Order, ECF No. 33.

Having reviewed the submissions of the parties, the Court finds good cause to grant the motion and amend the schedule for jury trial in this matter.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED:
