Plaintiffs,

JP MORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., and
SEQUOIA PACIFIC MORTGAGE
COMPANY, INC.,

ORDER REGARDING
STIPULATION TO EXTEND
MEDIATION DEADLINE

Defendants.
/

17

The mediation deadline in this matter has already passed and the parties have not

18

conducted a mediation. They now stipulate to continue the mediation deadline until August 26.

19

Their justification for so much time is that “the pleadings are not yet settled in this matter.” True,

20

defendants have not yet answered plaintiffs’ fourth amended complaint. That does not prevent

21

the parties from engaging in meaningful mediation in this case. The parties’ stipulation is

22

therefore DENIED, and mediation shall be conducted as soon as possible in accordance with the

23

mediator’s schedule but in any case no latter than 45 calendar days from the date of this order.

24
25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
