REQUEST FOR CONTINUED BRIEFING DEADLINES

15

Jaynes and American Steel have filed a number of dispositive motions and are in the

16

process of completing discovery, which closes on September 14, 2015. Additionally, while the

17

Parties were unable to resolve this action during mediation, American Steel and Jaynes are still

18

participating in settlement discussions. Jaynes and American Steel desire to continue the current

19

briefing deadlines to allow the Parties to focus on preparation, taking, and travel associated with

20

the upcoming depositions. Also, the Parties desire to limit the fees and costs incurred in this

21

action, and in light of ongoing resolution efforts, would benefit from additional time to brief all

22

pending motions. Finally, because the dispositive motion deadline is October 14, 2015, the

23

continued deadlines will not alter or impact the current dispositive motion deadline. Agate has no

24

opposition to this requested continuance.
