Therefore, the Commission respectfully requests that the Court grant its motion and continue the hearing on Defendants' Motion to Amend the Scheduling Order to either August 17 or 18, or a date that is convenient for the Court.

IT IS ORDERED that the Unopposed Motion (ECF No. 72) is GRANTED, and the hearing on the Motion to Amend Scheduling Order (ECF No. 64) is CONTINUED to August 21, 2017, at 10:00 a.m.
