STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND MEDIATION COMPLETION DEADLINE BY 30 DAYS

HAYWOOD S. GILLIAM, Jr., District Judge.

Plaintiffs Anthony Walker and Pamela Walker and defendant American National Insurance Company ("ANICO") (collectively, "the parties") hereby stipulate as follows:

STIPULATION

On February 1, 2017, the Court ordered the parties, per their Stipulation and Proposed Order Selecting ADR Process, to complete mediation within a 90 day presumptive deadline. (Docket Nos. 26, 27). On February 22, 2017, the ADR Clerk notified the parties that John Barg was assigned as mediator to this case. (Docket No. 31). On March 9, 2017, the parties participated in a pre-mediation phone conference with Mr. Barg and tentatively scheduled a mediation session for May 1, 2017. (Docket Nos. 32). Due to scheduling conflicts, ANICO is unable to attend the mediation session on May 1, 2017. The parties, through counsel, met and conferred regarding potential alternative dates in May 2017 to complete the mediation. The parties notified Mr. Barg of ANICO's unavailability, and Mr. Barg is willing to discuss a new mediation date in May 2017, if the Court extends the current May 2, 2017 deadline. The parties therefore respectfully request that the Court extend the mediation completion deadline by 30 days.

IT IS SO STIPULATED THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.

ORDEER

Based on the Stipulation of the parties, the mediation completion deadline currently set for May 2, 2017 is hereby extended to June 2, 2017.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
