ORDER
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has alleged Defendants engaged in

3

unlawful employment practices by failing to hire multiple persons based on their race. See Doc.

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

the status of the case. Doc. No. 127. The Court granted a further extension to allow the parties to

8

have sufficient time to focus on settlement negotiations and requested an update by April 12, 2019.

9

Doc. No. 129.

10

The parties now request an additional extension of the stay through May 13, 2019 in

11

order to serve judicial economy as they have stated that they are continuing to work toward a

12

resolution with the assistance of the private mediator.

14

This Court, having reviewed the Stipulation and Joint Request to Continue Stay Until
May 13, 2019, and based upon good cause showing, hereby ORDERS that

15

1. Litigation in this matter shall continue to be stayed through May 13, 2019; and

16

2. The parties shall inform the Court no later than May 13, 2019 as to the status of the case.
