On December 19, 2024, the parties filed a stipulation agreeing to a 90-day extension of

21

all remaining pre-trial discovery deadlines, with the exception of the currently scheduled pre-trial

22

conference and trial. (Doc. 33.) The parties explained that an extension of time was necessary as

23

“counsels for all parties have been in and out [of] trials and have not been able to coordinate

24

further discovery, including depositions.” (Id. at 2.)

25

Following a preliminary review of the stipulation, the Court held a status conference to

26

discuss the proposed modification of the Amended Scheduling Conference Order. (Doc. 30.)

6

delays. The parties also indicated that depositions have been scheduled, including Plaintiff’s

7

deposition, in coordination with another action. Additionally, mediation has been scheduled for
