5

WHEREAS, the Court also ordered that the deadline to amend pleadings be January 15,

13

mediation as previously scheduled;

14
15

WHEREAS, the Parties and Ms. Dellaverson have agreed to reschedule the mediation to
January 17, 2018, to accommodate this change to Plaintiff’s counsel’s schedule; and
