STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER TO EXTEND STAY OF DISCOVERY

[FIRST REQUEST]

GEORGE FOLEY, Jr., Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiffs Marni Guy, et al. and Defendants Casal Institute of Nevada, LLC dba Aveda Institute Las Vegas; Arthur J. Petrie; John Gronvall; and Thomas Ciarniello (collectively "Defendants"), by and through their respective attorneys hereby stipulate to and request that the Court extend the stay of discovery currently in place by an additional 90 days up to and including Thursday, November 30, 2017.

The parties request a continued stay in discovery to avoid unnecessarily incurring the significant costs and fees associated with the approaching discovery deadlines. The parties continue to agree that staying these deadlines is warranted as the Ninth Circuit has set oral argument in Benjamin, et al v. B&H Education, Inc. et al for September 11, 2017. As stated in the parties initial request to stay discovery, the parties agree that the decision in Benjamin, that case involving the application of the Fair Labor Standards Act to the activities of cosmetology students in a cosmetology school salon, may prove material to the outcome of this case. [ECF. No. 212].

On June 6, 2017, this Court granted the parties' request for an initial stay until September 1, 2017. [ECF No. 213]. The purpose of that stay was "to see what occurs in oral argument in Benjamin." Id. The oral argument in Benjamin is currently set for September 11, 2017. Additionally, the results of the appeal will more than likely take several months from the date of the oral argument to be issued. Accordingly, the parties request that the stay of discovery be extended by 90 days up to and including Thursday, November 30, 2017.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
