Real Parties in Interest.

20

On March 10, 2023, the Court issued an order granting in part Plaintiffs’ motions to lift

21

stay. (Doc. 65). Thereafter, on March 27, 2023, the Court issued an Order setting a schedule to

22

govern the parties’ engagement in limited discovery and briefing of anticipated dispositive

23

motions. (Doc. 67 “March 27 Order”).

24

Before the Court is the parties’ stipulated request to extend deadlines set in the March 27

25

Order. (Doc. 70). The parties represent that they have scheduled a private mediation to be held

26

on August 28, 2023, which is within ten days of the September 7, 2023, deadline to file

27

dispositive motions under the March 27 Order. Id.

28

The parties represent that the extension sought promotes limiting expenditures on

1

discovery and preparation for dispositive motions. The parties also represent that an extension

2

would conserve the Court’s judicial and financial resources.

3

The Court finds good cause to grant the parties’ relatively modest request but reminds

4

the parties must judiciously balance their time between conducting discovery while also

5

preparing for their upcoming mediation.

7

67), is amended as follows:
