Pursuant to ADR L.R. 6-7 and L.R. 7-12, Plaintiffs and Defendant seek to extend the time
20
for conducting mediation in this matter. The considerations supporting the request, as stipulated,
21
are set forth below:
22
The Parties voluntarily agreed to conduct a private mediation in this dispute to determine
23
24
Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss, the Court ordered that private mediation was to be completed
27
within one-hundred and fifty (150) days from the date of that hearing. The Court subsequently

to FRCP 12(b)(6). On July 21, 2016, during the Case Management Conference and hearing on

(510) 337-1001
agreed to delay discovery until after final adjudication of Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss pursuant
25
WEINBERG, ROGER &
ROSENFELD
whether settlement may be achieved without the necessity for further litigation. The Parties
entered an order partially granting and partially denying Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss, thus

clarifying the disputes subject to further litigation. Plaintiff declined to file an amended
2
complaint, and Defendant filed its Answer on September 14, 2016.
3
The Parties now desire to engage in meaningful discovery for the purpose of facilitating
4
settlement prior to any mediation. The mediator selected by the Parties is unavailable until after
5
the Court’s deadline for conducting mediation—the earliest availability being in December 2016
6
and January 2017. In order to retain the neutral mediator selected by the Parties, and in order to
7
have sufficient opportunity to engage in discovery, and to preserve the Parties’ resources and the
8
resources of the Court, the Parties jointly request an extension of the deadline to conduct
9
mediation to January 31, 2017, which is three weeks prior to the Parties’ next Case Management
10
Conference.
