No. 5. On January 30, 2019, the parties jointly requested an extension of a previous stay, as they

19

had agreed to attend mediation. Doc. No. 126. The Court granted the extension, and ordered the

20

parties to notify the Court by March 1, 2019 as to whether the mediation was successful and as to

The parties now request an additional extension of the stay, stating:
On February 22, 2019, the parties participated in a mediation in Oakland,
California before a private mediator. The parties made progress in their
negotiations and are continuing to work toward a resolution. In order for the
parties to have sufficient time to focus on settlement negotiations, the parties
agree that a continued stay in this case through April 12, 2019 is necessary and
will serve judicial economy. The parties agree to inform the Court by April 12,
2019 as to the status of the case.
For good cause shown, the Court will extend the stay until April 12, 2019.
