STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE SETTLEMENT DOCUMENTS DEADLINE (Fifth Request)

BRENDA WEKSLER, Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff Megan Klatt ("Plaintiff"), by and through her attorneys of record, and Defendant Dignity Health ("Defendant") (collectively, the "Parties"), by and through its attorneys of record, submit this Stipulation and Order to Continue Settlement Documents Deadline (Fifth Request) (the "Stipulation").

On February 28, 2019, the Parties participated in a mediation and subsequently reached a settlement in principal. Therefore, on April 5, 2019, the Parties submitted a Stipulation and Order to Suspend Dispositive Motion Deadlines Pending Settlement ("Stipulation to Suspend"), requesting that the dispositive motion deadlines be suspended while the Parties worked diligently to draft and agree upon the requisite settlement documents, ECF No. 86.

On April 10, 2019, the Court issued an Order granting the Stipulation to Suspend and directed the Parties to file a stipulation to dismiss or dispositive motions by May 17, 2019, ECF No. 87.

On May 16, 2019, the Parties filed a Stipulation and Order to Continue Settlement Documents Deadline (First Request), ECF No. 89, which the Court granted on May 17, 2019, ECF No. 93, because they needed additional time to complete the drafting of the settlement documents given the complexity of the issues and length of documents, including a Joint Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class Action Settlement and the associated Joint Stipulation of Settlement, as well as various documents to be provided to the putative class members, which will require Court approval.

On July 1, 2019, the Parties filed a Stipulation and Order to Continue Settlement Documents Deadline (Second Request), ECF No. 95, which the Court granted on July 3, 2019, ECF No. 96, because they needed additional time to complete the drafting of the settlement documents. The settlement papers are currently due on July 10, 2019, ECF No. 96.

On July 19, 2019, the Parties filed a Stipulation and Order to Continue Settlement Documents Deadline (Fourth Request), ECF No. 99, which the Court granted on July 22, 2019, ECF No. 100, because they needed additional time to complete the drafting of the settlement documents as Plaintiff's counsel was out of the office traveling. The settlement papers are currently due on July 26, 2019, ECF No. 100.

Since the last extension was granted, the Parties have continued to work diligently to finalize the settlement papers and are hopeful that they have agreement on all substantive issues. However, they still also need to secure the signatures of the respective parties. As such, the Parties request an additional seven (7) days, through and including August 2, 2019, to get the documents executed and submit the papers for Court approval.

This Stipulation is submitted in good faith and not for the purpose of delay.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
