1

Mediation had been scheduled to take place on October 4, 2012 before JAMS Mediator

2

Judge Ellen Sickle James (Ret.). However, attorney-scheduling issues arose after the mediation

3

was set and the mediation was taken off calendar. Since this, the court has twice extended the

4

mediation-completion deadline as a result of the parties’ conclusion that further investigation

5

was needed before the case would be ripe for mediation. Most recently, the court extended to

6

February 4, 2013 the deadline for the parties to report on mediation.

7

The parties have not yet completed mediation. The parties are cooperating and have

8

conferred and concluded that additional time is needed for investigation and document

9

production before proceeding with mediation. Accordingly, the parties agree that it would be

10

best to further postpone the mediation-completion and –reporting dates.

11

At this time the parties seek an order that: (1) they be given approximately 90 days from

12

February 4, 2013, or until May 6, 2013, to complete mediation; (2) they be excused from filing

13

an updated joint status report by February 4, 2013; and (3) they be given until May 10, 2013 to

14

submit an updated joint status report concerning the outcome of the rescheduled mediation.

15

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
