JOINT STIPULATION AND [REDACTED/] ORDER REGARDING EXCHANGE OF INITIAL DISCLOSURES AND SUBMISSION OF 26(f) REPORT

MARSHA J. PECHMAN, District Judge.

Pursuant to Local Civil Rules 7(d)(1) and 10(g), Plaintiffs and Defendants hereby stipulate and jointly move the Court for an Order extending the deadline for the exchange of initial disclosures and the filing of the Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(f) report.

On July 31, 2018, this Court entered an order setting the deadlines or the parties to meet and confer pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(f), and to exchange initial disclosures and file a 26(f) report. ECF 17. The parties jointly determined that it was prudent to brief the issues in the motion to dismiss and motion for class certification prior to having a Rule 26(f) conference so that both parties had a fuller understanding of the issues. Pursuant to the instructions in that order, the parties jointly telephoned the Courtroom Deputy to request an extension. A thirty-day extension was granted. ECF 32.

The parties have met and conferred pursuant to this Court's order. However, after the conference, the parties agreed that additional time to discuss would be productive, and would lead to the submission of a 26(f) report that would be more useful to the Court. Accordingly, the parties jointly request an additional 30-day extension of the deadline to exchange initial disclosures and submit a Rule 26(f) report to the Court.

[REDACTED/] ORDER

Based on the foregoing stipulation of the parties, IT IS SO ORDERED. The parties shall exchange initial disclosures by November 5, 2018. The parties shall submit their 26(f) report by November 12, 2018.
