16
The Court has received the stipulation filed by the parties to shorten the 35-day period
17
required for dispositive motions due to their ongoing settlement discussions and pending
18
dispositive hearing deadline set by this Court for April 13, 2012. However, the parties’
19
stipulation affords the Court two court days to review the filings prior to a hearing on any
20
motions filed, which clearly is insufficient. The stipulation is therefore DENIED.
21
Should the parties’ efforts fail to result in settlement of this matter, they may file a
22
stipulation to extend the deadline for hearing on dispositive motions, with a showing of good
23
cause for the extension, but must maintain the 35-day period required for all filings.
24
IT IS SO ORDERED.
