The parties assert that good cause exists for their proposed amendment to the motions in

2 limine briefing schedule because the parties are scheduled to participate in a settlement conference
3 with Magistrate Judge Thurston on January 7, 2019, and “it will increase the chance of settlement
4 to conserve costs by postponing the preparation of motions in limine until after the settlement
5 conference.” Doc. No. 43-1.
