Subject to the approval of the Court, the parties hereby stipulate to enlarge the mediation

24

deadline fi·om October 12,2012, to November 30,2012. The prose plaintiff requests this

enlargement in order to give her time to receive Defendant's responses to her first set of written

26

discovery requests, and to take certain depositions, before the mediation. Defendant does not

27

object and joins in the request to enlarge the mediation deadline in order to give Defendant time

28

1

disputes and a meet and confer which took place regarding Plaintiff's responses to Defendant's

2

written discovery requests. Both parties agree that enlarging the mediation deadline so that the

3

above-referenced discovery can occur beforehand will materially enhance the prospects for

4

settlement at mediation. The court-appointed mediator has authorized the parties to state herein

5

that she does not object to the requested enlargement.

6

All other dates and deadlines set by the Court in the case management schedule (Dkt.

7

#44), including the trial date, would remain the same. This is the third request to enlarge the

8

mediation deadline, and the second request since the stay in this case was lifted. This case was

9

stayed from March 8, 2012, to July 6, 2012, due to plaintiff's medical condition. (Dkt. #38, 40,

10

42, 44.) By stipulated order, the mediation deadline was previously enlarged twice. (Dkt. #36,

11

46.) By stipulated order, the initial case management conference was previously continued.
