Commission and Defendant Guardsmark, LLC hereby request a sixty day extension of the case

21

management hearing and related deadlines set out in this Court’s “Order Setting Initial Case

22

Management Conference and ADR Deadlines” DATED June 28, 2011. [Docket No. 3.] The Case

23

Management Conference statement is currently due on September 6, 2011 and the Scheduling

24

Conference itself is calendared for September 13, 2011.

25

Good cause exists for the granting of an extension as it will allow the parties to engage in

26
settlement discussions which may ultimately save the Court and counsel the time and effort which
27
28

would be expended if the CMC were to go forward as currently scheduled. Counsel have agreed to

1

meet in person on September 14, 2011 to discuss resolution of the case. This meeting could not take

place earlier due to the schedules of the attorneys and the unavailability of EEOC lead counsel

3

during an extended medical leave of absence. In addition, if informal settlement discussions are

4
unsuccessful, the parties will contact the Court’s ADR program to arrange for a mediation/settlement
5

conference, hopefully to take place in the next 60 days.

7

The parties have not previously requested any extensions in this case.

Based on the foregoing, the parties respectfully request that the Court extend the Case
