STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE DISPOSITIVE MOTIONS AND RESPONSES AND REPLIES THERETO (FIRST REQUEST)

PEGGY A. LEEN, Magistrate Judge.

Pursuant to LR IA 6-1, LR IA 6-2, LR 7-1 and LR 26-4, Plaintiff Sean Mitropanopoulos ("Plaintiff") and Defendants Eldorado Resorts Corporation and Michael Marrs (collectively, "Defendants"), by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate and agree to this first request for extension of time for the parties to file dispositive motions in this action, along with related responses and replies. Pursuant to the Court's September 22, 2016, Order for Extension of Discovery Deadlines (ECF No. 44), the current deadline for filing dispositive motions in this case is January 30, 2017, (see id. at 8). The parties have completed all discovery in this matter, and good cause exists for the proposed extension based upon the following:

As the Court is aware, this case is one of thirty-three related lawsuits sitting before this Court. Recognizing the complexity of litigating these lawsuits simultaneously, the parties agreed to divide the cases into five groups and stagger deadlines in order to streamline the litigation process and avoid overlapping dispositive motion deadlines. Defendants' filed Motions for Summary Judgment on September 1, 2016 and September 15, 2016, in Group II cases. Unfortunately, response and reply briefing has been delayed and will not be completed before the deadline for filing dispositive motions in this case.1

Based upon the foregoing, the parties have agreed that the dispositive motion deadlines should be extended by forty-five (45) days in the following manner:

This stipulation is not brought for purposes of delay or any other improper purpose.

ORDER

IT IS SO ORDERED.
