STIPULATION AND [proposed] ORDER FOR EXTENSION OF TIME FOR FILING JOINT PRETRIAL ORDER (Fourth Request)
CARL W. HOFFMAN, Magistrate Judge.
A settlement conference was held in the above-referenced matter on October 30, 2018. The parties were unsuccessful in reaching a settlement agreement. Prior to the settlement conference, a Stipulation and Order (ECF Nos. 54 and 55) was entered extending the time for filing the Joint Pretrial Order to thirty days after the settlement conference, if a settlement was not reached. On November 29, 2018, the parties filed a Stipulation and Order (ECF Nos. 62 and 63) to extend the deadline by 30 days until January 2, 2019. On December 21, 2018, the parties filed a Stipulation and Order (ECF Nos. 64 and 65) to extend the deadline until February 1, 2019.
On January 23, 2019, the Wyman Plaintiffs' counsel circulated a 21-page proposed draft of the Joint Pretrial Order, which addressed Plaintiffs' desired stipulated facts, documents, witness, designated deposition transcripts, and statements of issues to de decided. The Defendants' counsel have reviewed this proposed draft and need additional time to fact check the content sought by the Wyman Plaintiffs, and to prepare and offer their own content additions, objections, counter-designations, and other revisions. The parties also need additional time to meet and confer regarding their respective positions on the contents of the Joint Pretrial Order, and to form related evidentiary stipulations or objections. The parties desire, through meeting and conferring about these issues, to reduce the number and scope of any disputes that might need to be brought before this Court.
To permit sufficient time to accomplish these matters, the parties hereby request that the deadline to file the Joint Pretrial Order be extended by four weeks to March 1, 2019. This Stipulation is submitted in good faith and is not interposed for purposes of delay. This is the fourth request to extend the deadline for filing the Joint Pretrial Order.
ORDER
IT IS SO ORDERED.
