[PROPOSED] ORDER

1

270(a), and because Defendant is pro se, the Parties stipulate that in order to make the settlement

2

conference meaningful, it should take place prior to the time that the Parties must incur the costs

3

of completing discovery, including depositions and summary judgment motions, so that they may

4

put their resources and time toward settlement. The Parties filed their Joint Report on August 22,

5

2016 with proposed scheduling dates (Dkt. #9), however, no dates have been set by the Court.

6

The Parties stipulate and jointly request that the original proposed deadlines be extended by three

7

months in order to give the Parties time to participate in a meaningful settlement conference

8

without incurring the fees and costs associated with completing discovery and preparing a motion

9

for summary judgment. The new proposed dates are as follows:
