STIPULATION AND REQUEST TO FURTHER CONTINUE MANDATORY SCHEDULING CONFERENCE

BARBARA A. McAULIFFE, Magistrate Judge.

Pursuant to Rule 144 of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, Plaintiff West Pacific Electric Company, Inc. and Defendants Dragados/Flatiron, Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland, Zurich American Insurance Company, The Continental Insurance Company, XL Specialty Insurance Company, The Insurance Company of the State of Pennsylvania, American Home Assurance Company, National Indemnity Company, Travelers Casualty and Surety Company of America, and Federal Insurance Company (collectively, "the Parties") hereby stipulate, agree, and request that the Scheduling Conference currently set for May 30, 2018 at 9:00 a.m. be continued to July 5, 2018 at 9:00 a.m. or such subsequent time as the Court deems appropriate. The Parties further stipulate that the case schedule set forth in the Court's Order Setting Mandatory Scheduling Conference (Document 3) be further modified as follows:

There is good cause for this stipulation and request. The current Scheduling Conference was continued to May 30, 2018 based on Defendant Dragados/Flatiron's Motion to Dismiss being set for hearing on April 10, 2018. On May 4, 2018, the court requested additional briefing which will not be concluded until May 31, 2018. A brief continuance of the Scheduling the motion to dismiss before the conference and initial disclosure deadline) will allow the Parties to more meaningfully comply with their obligations under Rule 26 and the applicable Local Rules.

There has only been one previous extension of the scheduling conference date and related deadlines pursuant to stipulation in this case and granting this stipulation and request will have no significant impact on the schedule for this case as no trial date has been scheduled.
