STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER SETTING BRIEFING SCHEDULE FOR DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO COMPEL ARBITRATION

HAYWOOD S. GILLIAM, Jr. District Judge.

STIPULATION

Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 6-2 and 7-12, Plaintiff Randall Holl and Defendant United Parcel Service, Inc. ("UPS"), by and through their undersigned counsel, stipulate as follows:

WHEREAS, Plaintiff filed the Complaint in this action on October 11, 2016, and served UPS with the Complaint on October 20, 2016;

WHEREAS, on November 4, 2016, the parties stipulated and agreed to extend UPS's deadline to respond to the Complaint until December 19, 2016;

WHEREAS, UPS filed a Motion to Compel Arbitration of Plaintiff Randall Holl's claims on December 19, 2016 and noticed the motion for hearing on February 16, 2017 at 2:00 p.m.;

WHEREAS, Plaintiff's response to the motion to compel arbitration is currently due January 3, 2017;

WHEREAS, the parties have met and conferred, and agree that Plaintiff's deadline to file a response to Defendant's motion to compel arbitration may be extended until January 18, 2017, with UPS's deadline to reply extended until February 1, 2017;

WHEREAS, good cause exists for an extension of Plaintiff's deadline to respond to the motion to compel arbitration because the extension will provide Plaintiff sufficient time to prepare its response in light of the upcoming holidays, and UPS's request for an extension will provide UPS with sufficient time to prepare its response; and

WHEREAS, this is the first request for an extension of Plaintiff's deadline to respond to the Motion to Compel Arbitration, UPS's second request for an extension (UPS previously requested an extension of time to file its initial response to Plaintiff's Complaint), the extensions will not alter the date of any event or any deadline already fixed by Court order, and this request is not being made for purposes of delay or any other improper purpose;

THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AND STIPULATED, subject to the approval of the Court, that Plaintiff's deadline to respond to Defendant's Motion to Compel Arbitration shall be extended to January 18, 2017, and UPS shall have until February 1, 2017 to file a reply brief.
