ORDER GRANTING STIPULATION IN
PART; MODIFYING CASE SCHEDULE

12
/

14

Presently before the Court is the parties’ Stipulation and Proposed Order Regarding Various

15

Scheduling Dates. (Docket Item No. 46.) The parties contend that certain dates should be extended

16

to provide both parties with more time for the completion of discovery. (Id. at 2.) Further, the

17

parties contend that “completion of discovery will . . . maximize the chance of this matter being

18

resolved through a meaningful mediation.” (Id.) The parties contend that they “have met and

19

conferred regarding ADR and are in the process of scheduling a mediation with JAMS with a

20

probable date in June, 2011.” (See Docket Item No. 44 at 5.)

21

Upon review, the Court finds good cause to grant a brief extension of time to allow for

22

mediation. In addition, because this case was recently transferred to this Court, the Court modifies

23

the case schedule to coincide with its pretrial practices. Accordingly, the Court MODIFIES the

24

Case Schedule as follows:

25

(1)

The Court sets July 11, 2011 at 10 a.m. for a Preliminary Pretrial Conference. On or

26

before July 1, 2011, the parties shall file a Joint Pretrial Statement which includes,

27

inter alia, an update on the parties’ mediation effort and proposed schedules for trial.

28

1

(2)

All discovery shall close on September 9, 2011.

(3)

The last date for hearing dispositive motions will be on November 7, 2011.
