as they have been unable to arrange a mutually-agreeable date for ADR within the current
deadline, but are all available to conduct ADR on September 27, 2017.

Further, the Parties are in the early stages of discovery and are continuing to

collect information relevant to the case, which will facilitate more productive settlement
discussions both before and during the mediation session.
