STIPULATION TO EXTEND DEADLINES
(SECOND REQUEST)
PEGGY A. LEEN, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff Patricia Lombardo and defendant Property and Casualty Company of Hartford hereby stipulate and request the Court to extend expert discovery, dispositive motion, and pre-trial order deadlines in this case by 45 days, resulting in the following changes:
• Expert discovery deadline will be extended from January 12, 2019 through and including February 26, 2019;
• Dispositive motion deadline will be extended from February 11, 2019 through and including March 28, 2019.
• Pre-trial order deadline will be extended from March 13, 2019 through and including April 29, 2019.
The parties recently mediated the case with Judge Pro. Although they were unable to reach a lump-sum settlement, the parties are working toward resolving this case by referring it to a binding, non-judicial appraisal process, but they need time to work out the parameters of the stipulated appraisal procedure. The parties would like to avoid the expenses associated with expert discovery and further trial preparation while they explore resolution.
The parties certify this stipulation was done in good faith and not for the purposes of delay.
Having reviewed and considered the matter, the parties state that they recently unsuccessfully mediated this case, but are "working toward resolving this case by referring it to a bindind, nonjudicial appraisal process, but need more time to work out the parameters." They wish to avoid the expense with expert discovery and further preparation while they explore resolution, but have not provided any assurance that they have or will be able to reach a binding resolution before the expiration of the third extension of the discovery plan and scheduling order deadlines they propose. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the parties' Stipulation DATED:(ECF No. 34) is DENIED without prejudice.
