The parties to the above case, by the undersigned attorney, Lenden F. Webb of Webb Law Group, APC., counsel of record for Plaintiff LAYLA PECKLER ("Peckler") and John C.

STIPULATION

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by the parties hereto, through their respective counsel of record that:

WHEREAS, the Mandatory Initial Scheduling Conference is presently set in this matter for November 30, 2017 at 9:00am in Courtroom 8 of the Fresno Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California.

WHEREAS, the parties wish to attempt settlement of this matter prior to incurring unnecessary costs including preparing for and attending the Mandatory Initial Scheduling Conference.

WHEREAS, on November 16, 2017 plaintiff's counsel emailed defense counsel to inquire about stipulating to a continuance of the Mandatory Initial Scheduling Conference in order to allow the parties time to discuss settlement and hold the conference pursuant to Rule 26. Whereupon it was determined upon a responsive email on November 17, 2017 from defense counsel that they were amendable to a continuance to allow both sides to discuss settlement and exchange initial disclosures and/or discovery related information. Moreover, Attorney Lenden Webb is in a jury trial the week of November 27, 2017 to November 31, 2017. The next availability for both sides will be in January 2018.

NOW, THEREFORE, by and through their undersigned counsel of record, the parties have agreed, subject to Court approval, that the Mandatory Initial Scheduling Conference shall be continued, and rescheduled from November 30, 2017 at 9:00am to January 18, 2018 at 9:00am, or as soon thereafter as convenient with the Court and all parties.

Based on the foregoing, the parties agree that there is good cause for a continuance of the Mandatory Initial Scheduling Conference.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

ORDER

The parties having so stipulated and good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Mandatory Scheduling Conference, currently scheduled for November 30, 2017, be continued to January 18, 2018 at 9:00 AM in Courtroom 8 before Magistrate Judge Barbara A.
