ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN PART MOTION TO CONTINUE STAY AND FOR OTHER RELIEF

MICHAEL J. SENG, Magistrate Judge.

This Court previously continued the initial scheduling conference in this case from January 25, 2018, to March 29, 2018 and stayed other action in the case to allow the parties to conduct a private mediation on January 18, 2018, all to help the parties avoid unnecessary pleading and litigation. For unknown reasons, the parties then decided to reschedule the mediation and it was continued to March 22, 2018. The Plaintiff, without objection from the Defense, now seeks to extend again the scheduling conference to a date three months beyond the new mediation date and give Defendant until May 7, 2018 to file a response to the Complaint.

The parties have not provided, and the court does not find, a reasonable basis for delaying the progress of this case to the extent requested. The Court will, nevertheless, continue the Initial Scheduling Conference from March 29, 2018 to April 27, 2018, at AM in the Yosemite Court with the parties invited to participate telephonically. Defendant shall have until April 13, 2018 to respond to the Complaint. The parties shall file their Joint Scheduling report with the Court not later than April 23, 2018.

There shall be no further continuance of the above dates and deadlines or stays of proceedings without a showing of good cause based upon presently unforeseeable circumstances.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
