JOHN DONNELLY SWEENEY and POINT BUCKLER CLUB, LLC 2:17-cv-00112-KJM-KJN STIPULATION AND ORDER RE: EXTENSION OF DEADLINE TO AMEND PLEADINGS ORDER Defendants. 24 25 26 27 28 Stipulation re: Deadline to Amend; Order 2:17-cv-00112-KJM-KJN 1 Pursuant Local Rule 143, the parties hereby stipulate and propose that the Court modify 2 the deadline for joining parties or amending the pleadings. The current deadline in December 1, 3 2017. See Dkt. No. 20 at ΒΆ II. There is good cause for permitting this stipulated extension 4 because the parties have focused narrowly on limited financial discovery and resolution, 5 including an October 17, 2017, settlement conference, and a continued December 12, 2017 6 settlement conference. As the parties have conducted no meaningful fact discovery beyond 7 limited financial information, the United States has not been able to determine if there are any 8 further parties to add, or any amendments that may be appropriate. Rather than hastily amending 9 the pleadings to add parties in order to preserve claims, the parties stipulate, and propose, to 10 extend the deadline for joining parties or amending the pleadings to January 1, 2018. 11 Respectfully submitted, 12 PHILLIP A.
