STIPULATION AND ORDER RESETTING MEDIATION COMPLETION DATE

WILLIAM H. ORRICK, District Judge.

Plaintiff Ellen Annete Gold ("Plaintiff"), on behalf of herself and the alleged class, and defendants Midland Credit Management, Inc. ("MCM") and Midland Funding, LLC ("MF," collectively "Defendants"), by and through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate and agree as follows:

WHEREAS, on July 30, 2013, this Court established October 28, 2013 as the mediation completion date in this matter (see Docket 21);

WHEREAS, the ADR Department has experienced some difficulties in locating a mediator for the action and has not yet assigned a mediator;

WHEREAS, upon further analysis by the parties, in conjunction with a representative of the ADR Department, the parties have concluded that this case likely will not be suitable for a productive mediation session until after the plaintiff has filed her motion for class certification and after Defendants have filed their motion for summary judgment;

WHEREAS, the deadline for hearing motions in this matter is July 2, 2014;

IT IS THEREFORE STIPULATED AND AGREED BY THE PARTIES that the Court is requested to vacate the current mediation completion deadline and to reset the deadline for August 29, 2014.

The Court, having reviewed the stipulation of the parties, and good cause appearing, it is hereby ORDERED that the mediation completion deadline in this matter is VACATED and is reset for August 29, 2014.

SO ORDERED.
