STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO EXTEND TIME FOR DEFENDANTS TO RESPOND TO COMPLAINT AND CONTINUE INITIAL CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

RICHARD SEEBORG, District Judge.

On November 4, 2014 the parties stipulated to allow defendants until January 15, 2015 to respond to the complaint. [Doc. No. 10].

Subsequently, the parties began discussions to explore possible amicable resolution of this matter, and, in light of those discussions, filed a second stipulation, which the Court approved, extending the date for defendants to respond to the complaint to February 3, 2015, rescheduling the initial case management conference to March 19, 2015, and adjusting all other associated case deadlines accordingly. [Dkt. No. 16]

Because the parties have made further progress in their discussions regarding possible amicable resolution of this matter, the parties agree that there should be a further extension of approximately thirty (30) days for defendants to file an answer or other pleading in response to the complaint, to March 5, 2015.

The parties also agree that the initial case management conference should be continued by approximately one month, to April 23, 2015, and that the other case deadlines associated with the date to respond to the complaint and the initial case management conference should be adjusted accordingly.

Accordingly, pursuant to Local Civil Rule 6-1, the parties stipulate, and respectfully request an order from this Court, that defendants be given an extension until March 5, 2015 for responding to the complaint, and that the initial case management conference be continued by approximately one month, to April 23, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. (or 11:00 a.m. if any party files a request to appear by telephone), or such other time as the Court deems appropriate. All other deadlines associated with the date to respond to the complaint and the initial case management conference will be adjusted accordingly.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

[PROPOSED] ORDER

Having reviewed the parties' stipulation submitted pursuant to Local Civil Rule 6-1, the Court hereby grants the stipulated request to extend the deadline for defendants to respond to the Complaint to March 5, 2015. Further, the Court hereby grants the stipulated request to extend the deadline for the initial case management conference by approximately one month, to April 23, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. (or 11:00 a.m. if any party files a request to appear by telephone). All other deadlines associated with the date to respond to the complaint and the initial case management conference are adjusted accordingly.

PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED.
