On January 23, 2020, the Parties filed a Joint Motion to Continue the Deadline to

19

File a Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class Settlement. (Doc. No. 284.) On that same

20

day, the Court set a January 29, 2020 conference on the matter and ordered the Parties to

21

submit supplemental briefing, having found the Joint Motion inadequately pleaded. (Doc.

22

No. 285.) The Parties timely filed their supplemental briefing (Doc. Nos. 286-287), fully

23

explaining their basis for requesting a month-long continuance of the motion filing

24

deadline as well as all efforts they made to comply with the operative January 31, 2020

25

deadline, pursuant to Judge Houston’s December 11, 2019 Order (Doc. No. 283).

26

Having reviewed and considered the Parties’ supplemental briefing, the Court finds

27

that good cause supports the Joint Motion and thus GRANTS the Motion in its entirety.
