CARL W. HOFFMAN, Magistrate Judge.

STIPULATION FOR 60-DAY EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE THE JOINT PRE-TRIAL ORDER

Pursuant to Local Rule IA 6-1, Plaintiff James D. Noland, Jr. and Defendants Organo Gold Int'l, Inc., Organo Gold Enterprises, Inc., Holton V. Buggs, Jr. and Bernardo Chua, through their attorneys of record, stipulate to a 60-day extension of time to file the Joint Pre-Trial Order, and respectfully show as follows:

The deadline to file the joint pre-trial order is April 1, 2019. This is the first stipulation to extend time for filing the joint pre-trial order.

Plaintiff James D. Noland, Jr. moved on January 31, 2019 for a 60-day extension of the deadline to file the Joint Pre-Trial Order, among other deadlines, for the reasons set forth in his motion. See Doc. Nos. 110-112, and 115.

Defendants timely moved or joined motions for final summary judgment on November 20, 2018 (limitations) and on March 1, 2019 (no-evidence of predicate acts). See Doc. Nos. 82-84, 87, 94, 117, and 118. Defendants Holton and Earlene Buggs also have a pending Motion To Dismiss. See Doc. 80.

Good cause exists for extending the joint pre-trial order deadline. The foregoing motions all remain pending, and their disposition will affect the drafting of the joint pre-trial order and potentially the trial itself. Accordingly, the parties stipulate to a 60-day extension of the joint pre-trial order.

This stipulation is effective on the date it is signed by all parties and the Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
