RECITALS

1. This action was commenced on February 9, 2015. (Dkt. 1). On April 7, 2015, the Giottas and APS stipulated to a voluntary dismissal of APS without prejudice and with an agreement to toll the claims of the Giottas and the proposed class asserted against APS in this action during the pendency of this action. (Dkt. No. 25).

2. For judicial efficiency, the Parties agreed that a single deadline for all remaining Defendants to respond to the complaint, May 22, 2015, was appropriate. Pursuant thereto, the Parties executed a stipulation setting a briefing schedule on the remaining Defendants' motions to dismiss. (Dkt. 26). The Giottas' oppositions to the motions to dismiss were due to be filed on or before June 26, 2015, reply briefs on or before July 16, 2015, and the hearings on the motions were to be held July 30, 2015. (Id.) The Court granted the stipulation on April 8, 2015 (Dkt. 30).

3. On February 10, 2015, the Court issued an Order Setting Initial Case Management Conference and ADR Deadlines (Dkt. 5), which was amended by the Clerk's Notice Resetting Case Management Conference Following Reassignment, entered on February 25, 2015 (Dkt. 18).

4. On May 13, 2015, the Parties filed a Stipulation for Relief From Order Setting CMC and ADR Deadlines pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4) and Local Rule 16-2(e), requesting that the court modify the schedule to allow the Court to hear and potentially rule on the motions to dismiss prior to the first Case Management Conference. (Dkt. 35). The Court issued an order approving the stipulation the same day. (Dkt. 36).

5. On June 12, 2015, the Giottas filed a first amended complaint. (Dkt. 41).

6. Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(3) and 6(d), Defendants' current deadline to respond to the first amended complaint is June 29, 2015.

7. The parties met and conferred by phone and agree that additional time to respond to the first amended complaint and an agreed-upon briefing schedule is warranted. The Parties also agree that to maintain an orderly and efficient preparation of the case, and judicial efficiency and economy, the Scheduling Order should be modified accordingly to allow the Court to hear and potentially rule on the motions to dismiss prior to the first Case Management Conference. Pursuant thereto, the parties hereby stipulate and agree to the following modification and request the Court's approval of their stipulation to the proposed briefing and Case Management Schedule as follows:

PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED.
