JOINT REQUEST TO MODIFY THE ORDER GRANTING STIPULATION TO STAY DISCOVERY (Doc. #44)

CARL W. HOFFMAN, Magistrate Judge.

JOINT REQUEST TO MODIFY THE ORDER GRANTING STIPULATION TO STAY DISCOVERY (Doc. #44)

On March 13, 2018, the Court granted the Parties' joint request to stay discovery to allow the Parties to proceed to a settlement conference or mediation. (Doc. #44). In issuing said ruling, the Court ordered that the Parties must file a joint status report upon completion of the settlement conference or by June 11, 2018, whichever is sooner. (Id.) In prior negotiations concerning resolution avenues, the Parties agreed to mediate the action with Stewart Bell of JAMS, a highly successful and well respected mediator. Unfortunately, due to Mr. Bell being in high demand and due to the conflicting schedules of various party and carrier representatives and counsels, several of whom will need to travel to Las Vegas from out of state, the earliest available date that the Parties could mediate with Mr. Bell is August 1, 2018. The Parties have proceeded to lock in this date with Mr. Bell.

As the August 1, 2018 mediation date is after the Court's June 11, 2018 deadline in the Order Granting the Stipulation to Stay Discovery (Doc. #44), the Parties herein jointly request that the deadline for filing a joint status report be extended to a date no sooner than fourteen (14) days after August 1, 2018. The Parties will certainly file, as soon as possible, a joint status report immediately after August 1, 2018.

ORDER

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Order Granting the Stipulation to Stay Discovery (Doc. #44) is hereby modified, with the Parties required to file a joint status report on or within fourteen (14) days upon completion of the mediation on August 1, 2018.
