8, 2013, at the parties’ request, the settlement conference was continued to May 9, 2013, at 9:30

2

a.m. The parties requested the continuance in order to allow the parties time to conduct

3

additional discovery prior the settlement conference, which the parties believe may help facilitate

4

a productive settlement conference. The additional discovery sought by the parties included

5

several depositions, including those of plaintiff and plaintiff’s former supervisors. The parties

have met and conferred regarding scheduling these depositions. However due to the respective

7

schedules of the parties and witnesses, the parties do not believe that all of these depositions will

8

be completed until August. Accordingly, the parties respectfully request a second continuance of

9

the settlement conference to August 22, 2013, at 1:00 p.m.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
