BARBARA A. McAULIFFE, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff UNITED STATES EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION ("Plaintiff") and Defendant Pape Material Handling, Inc. (hereinafter "Defendant"), through their respective counsel of record, hereby submits this Joint Stipulation for the Court to extend the deadline for the Parties to file the Proposed Consent Decree from March 7, 2019 to April 8, 2019.
As previously stated, the Plaintiff and Defendant (hereinafter collectively "Parties") were able to reach a settlement on September 20, 2018, and have agreed in principle to the monetary amount and major terms of the injunctive remedies. (ECF No. 38) Per the Parties' request, the Court ordered the Parties to file the Proposed Consent Decree no later than March 7, 2019. (ECF No. 49).
During this time, the Parties have diligently worked towards finalizing the many details of the Proposed Consent Decree, which have included exchanging drafts of the Proposed Consent Decree and its exhibit. While the Parties have made significant progress, the Parties need an additional 30 days to finalize the Proposed Consent Decree. As such, good cause exists to extend the deadline to file the Proposed Consent Decree, as such action would minimize costs and conserve judicial resources to concentrate on finalizing the Proposed Consent Decree. Furthermore, the requested continuance will not result in any undue delay or prejudice to either party.
Accordingly, the Parties request that this Court continue the stay of the case and extend the March 7, 2019 deadline for the Parties to file the Proposed Consent Decree to 30 days or April 8, 2019.
Pursuant to the parties' stipulation, and good cause appearing, the deadline for the parties to file the Proposed Consent Decree is HEREBY EXTENDED to April 7, 2019. However, the stay in this matter was lifted on January 30, 2019, and therefore will not be extended. See Doc. No. 49.
