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 April 7, 2019 to April 19, 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 April 7, 2019. (ECF No. 51).
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 a two-week extension to finalize the Proposed Consent Decree and obtain signatures.
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 extend the April 7, 2019 deadline for the Parties to file the Proposed Consent Decree to April 19, 2019.
I, Lorena Garcia-Bautista, certify that the content of this document is acceptable to all persons required to sign the document as I obtained authorization for the electronic signatures of all parties on the document.
Pursuant to the parties' stipulation, and for good cause showing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the deadline to file the Proposed Consent Decree and other settlement documents shall be extended to April 19, 2019.
