JOINT STIPULATION TO EXTEND STAY OF DEADLINES IN SCHEDULING ORDER AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

HAYWOOD S. GILLIAM, JR., District Judge.

Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 6-2 and 7-12, Plaintiff Vana Fowler and Defendant Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., hereby stipulate through their respective counsel of record as follows:

WHEREAS, the Parties mediated this case before Hon. Daniel Weinstein (Ret.) on January 15, 2018;

WHEREAS, the Stay Order provides that the Parties are to submit a revised scheduling order within one week of mediation if the case is not fully resolved at mediation;

WHEREAS, the Parties did not fully resolve the case, but made sufficient progress at mediation that extending the stay through February 23, 2018 will aid the Parties in their efforts to resolve this litigation, rather than incurring the cost and expense of additional discovery, including depositions and expert discovery;

WHEREAS, the Hon. Daniel Weinstein (Ret.) gave the Parties permission to represent to the Court that he believes an extension of the stay would be beneficial to settlement discussions;

WHEREAS, the Parties will report back to the Court regarding the status of settlement negotiations, or will submit a revised scheduling order to address any deadlines affected by the stay if settlement negotiations reach an impasse, by February 23, 2018;

NOW THEREFORE the parties through their undersigned counsel hereby stipulate to, and respectfully request the Court to order, that the stay of the case be extended through February 23, 2018.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED.
