This stipulation is based on LR IA 6-1 and LR 26-3. 28 Page 1 of 3 Dockets.Justia.com 1 Pursuant to LR IA 6-1, the parties recite that this is the third stipulation to extend the 2 dispositive motion deadline in this case. The current January 12, 2024 dispositive motion 3 deadline was set by order dated September 1, 2023 (see ECF No. 113) following substitution of 4 Plaintiff’s counsel in this matter. Subsequent thereto, the Court scheduled a mandatory settlement 5 conference in this case to occur January 16, 2024. See ECF No. 119 (Court’s December 6, 2023 6 Order Scheduling Video Settlement Conference). 7 Pursuant to LR 26-3, the parties submit that good cause exists to continue the dispositive 8 motions deadline for a limited eleven (11) day period so that the parties may conserve resources 9 and expenses and focus energy on preparing for the January 16, 2024 mandatory settlement 10 conference. The current dispositive motion deadline falls four (4) days before the settlement 11 conference. The parties are asking that the new deadline fall seven (7) after the settlement 12 conference. In the event this matter is resolved at the conference, the need for dispositive motions 13 would be obviated and the parties would be saved the associated expense. 14 The parties are mindful of the existing trial date in this matter of May 21, 2024 (see ECF 15 No. 115 Minute Order setting trial), however they do not believe that the limited extension sought 16 herein will interfere with the parties’ ability to complete full briefing of dispositive motions and 17 submit the same to the Court for decision well before the April 17, 2024 calendar call in this 18 matter (see id.). 19 Based on the foregoing, the parties respectfully submit that good cause exists to grant the 20 requested limited extension and continue the deadline for dispositive motions from January 12, 21 2024 to January 23, 2024. 22 /// 23 /// 24 /// 25 /// 26 /// 27 /// 28 Page 2 of 3 1 IT IS SO STIPULATED. 2 Dated this 8th day of January, 2024.
