EDWARD M. CHEN, District Judge.
Plaintiff Mike Rose's Auto Body, Inc. ("Plaintiff") and Defendant Applied Underwriters Captive Risk Assurance Company, Inc. ("Defendant") (collectively "the Parties"), through their counsel stipulate as follows:
1. Plaintiff filed the Complaint initiating this action on or about April 11, 2016.
2. The Summons and Complaint were served on May 11, 2016 through a waiver of service of summons.
3. By Order dated June 7, 2016, the Court set the initial Case Management Conference in this matter for August 4, 2016 at 9:30 AM. Dkt. No. 8.
4. On July 8, 2016, Defendant filed a Motion to Compel Arbitration and Stay the Action, which is set for hearing on August 25, 2016.
5. In light of the pending motion, the Parties agree that it is most efficient to continue the initial Case Management Conference to early October so that the Court can rule on Defendant's motion to compel arbitration before the Parties meet and confer about case management issues and make initial disclosures.
6. This is the Parties' first request for a continuance of the initial Case Management Conference and corresponding deadlines. The continuation will not affect any other scheduled dates or deadlines. The Parties do not anticipate the need for a further continuance.
The Parties hereby stipulate pursuant to Civil Local Rules 16-2(e) and 7-12 that the initial Case Management Conference is continued from August 4, 2016 to October 6, 2016, or as soon thereafter as is convenient for the Court, and that the corresponding deadlines are extended as follows:
Deadline to confer as required by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(f): September 15, 2016;
Deadline to submit Joint Status Report: September 29, 2016.
I hereby attest that I have obtained the concurrence of Connor M. Day, Esq., counsel for Plaintiff Mike Rose's Auto Body, Inc., for the filing of this stipulation.
