VINCE CHHABRIA, District Judge.

Plaintiffs and Defendants, by and through their respective counsel of record, hereby respectfully request that the Initial Case Management Conference, currently scheduled for April 28, 2015, be continued for approximately forty-five (45) days, or as soon thereafter as may be convenient for the Court. GOOD CAUSE exists for the requested continuance as follows:

2. Defendants filed an Answer to the Complaint on February 25, 2015 [Dkt. No. 14].

3. Counsel for both Plaintiffs and Defendants are currently engaged in preliminary discussions towards potential resolution of this matter.

4. The parties have an ADR Phone Conference with the Court's Alternative Dispute Resolution Program scheduled for April 22, 2015 [Dkt. No. 17].

5. The parties jointly request a continuance of the Case Management Conference so as to allow the parties to further facilitate settlement of this matter, as both parties desire to resolve this matter without the need for further litigation.

6. This is the first such request made by either party to this matter.

7. There are no issues that need to be addressed by the parties at the currently scheduled Initial Case Management Conference. In the interest of conserving costs, as well as the Court's time and resources, Plaintiffs and Defendants jointly and respectfully request that the Initial Case Management Conference, currently scheduled for April 28, 2015, be continued for approximately forty-five (45) days, to allow sufficient time for the parties to continue their attempts to resolve this matter outside of litigation.

SO STIPULATED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Based on the foregoing, and GOOD CAUSE APPEARING, the currently set Initial Case Management Conference is hereby continued to June 16, 2015 to 10:00 a.m. All related deadlines are extended accordingly.
