WHEREAS, since the entry of the Scheduling Order, the parties have been attempting to
resolve certain discovery issues without the Court’s intervention prior to the mediation.
WHEREAS, the parties resolved that they needed additional time to schedule depositions
critical to the mediation.
WHEREAS, in the second pre-mediation telephone conference, the parties and Mr. Barg

15

agreed that the mediation, currently set for January 12, 2016 (see 11/5/2015 Minute Entry),

16

would not be productive if held on that date, and that the date should be rescheduled.

17

WHEREAS, the parties would like the opportunity to further evaluate the strengths and

18

weaknesses of their respective positions as well as to be better prepared for meaningful

19

discussions toward the resolution of this case.

20

WHEREAS, the parties resolved with Mr. Barg’s approval that extending the deadline to

21

complete mediation, and resetting the mediation date accordingly, may preserve the Court’s and

22

the parties’ resources should the mediation prove fruitful.
