Plaintiff CATHERINE ROPER (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants Health Management
WHEREAS, on May 7, 2024 the Court entered a Minute Order directing that “Plaintiff
11
shall file a motion re standard of review no later than 6/14/2024 and shall notice said motion for
12
hearing on 8/8/2024 at 1:30 PM in Courtroom 10 before District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta;
13
Defendant shall file its opposition to Plaintiff's motion no later than 6/28/2024; Plaintiff shall file a

WHEREAS, on May 16, 2024 the Court held an Initial Scheduling Conference via
16
videoconference during which the Parties informed that Court that they are continuing to explore

20
parties to meet and confer and within fourteen (14) days to file an updated joint status report

advising the Court as to how the parties plan to proceed with mediation and proposing a new

briefing schedule re Plaintiff's forthcoming motion re standard of review.”
23
WHEREAS, the Parties have now confirmed a mediation date of August 26, 2024;
24

25
their best interests and in the interests of the Court to vacate the currently-pending briefing
26
deadlines for the Motion Regarding Standard of Review pending completion of the mediation. The
27
Parties likewise believe that it would be most efficient to permit the Parties to submit an Amended
28
Joint Statement fourteen (14) days after the mediation (i.e., by September 9 2024) if necessary to

propose new deadlines for the Motion Regarding Standard of Review along with the other pretrial

deadlines required by the Court.

the Parties have a confirmed mediation date of August 26, 2024 and they continue to believe that
5
an early resolution of this matter is possible;
6
7
and submit an Amended Joint Status Report regarding their discovery plan until September 9,

2024, so that the Parties may have more time to potentially resolve this lawsuit and have a more

productive Rule 26(f) conference, if necessary;
