WHEREAS, the discovery cut-off in this case was February 24, 2017,
requiring any briefing regarding discovery disputes be filed by March 3, 2017.

3.
WHEREAS the parties currently have a discovery dispute which they
5
are meeting and conferring over. The parties hope to resolve the issue but, if not,
6
they request six weeks to file a joint discovery brief. The extra-time is needed both
7
because the dispute itself has only recently arisen and thus the parties need more
8
time to meet and confer and Plaintiff’s counsel is undergoing a medical procedure
9
in early March and will likely not be able to devote time to discovery issues while
10
he is recuperating. No other case management dates will be impacted by this
11
stipulation.

IT IS THEREFORE STIPULATED that the deadline to file a joint
14
brief regarding any discovery dispute will be continued from February 24, 2017 to
15
April 7, 2017.
