Blaszkowski et al v. Mars Inc. et al Doc. 629 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA MIAMI DIVISION CASE NO. 07-21221 CIV ALTONAGA/Brown RENEE BLASZKOWSKI, et al., individually and on behalf of others similarly situated, Plaintiffs/Class Representatives, vs. MARS INC., et al. Defendants. ______________________________________________/ AGREED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE FIFTH AMENDED COMPLAINT AND REPORT ON MEDIATION RESULTS The Parties, hereby respectfully request this Court to grant them an extension of time to file the Fifth Amended Complaint and Report on Mediation, and in support thereof, state as follows: 1. On February 12, 2009, this Court entered an order permitting the filing of a Fifth Amended Complaint by today, February 25, 2009. [DE 627]. Additionally, on February 4, 2009, this Court entered an order requiring the filing of a Report on Mediation by today, February 25, 2009. [DE 623]. 2. Yesterday, February 24, 2009, the parties attended an all-day mediation in San Francisco and made progress towards settling this matter. An offer has been made which the Plaintiffs have through tomorrow, February 26, 2009 to accept. As Plaintiffs' counsel has been travelling today back from San Francisco to Miami, to date they have not been able to confer with all Plaintiffs on the pending offer.
