(“Plaintiff”) and Defendants Eldorado Resorts Corporation (“Eldorado”) and Michael Marrs

25

(“Marrs”) (collectively “Defendants”), by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate

Case 2:15-cv-00756-RFB-PAL Document 50 Filed 08/12/16 Page 2 of 3

Extension of Discovery Deadlines (ECF No. 47), the current deadline for filing dispositive motions

2

in this case is August 30, 2016 (see id. at 6). The parties have completed all discovery in this

3

matter, and good cause exists for the proposed extension based upon the following:

4

On August 11, 2016, the parties participated in an Early Neutral Evaluation Conference

5

(“ENE”) before the Honorable Magistrate Judge George Foley, Jr., in the related case of Villarreal

6

v. Eldorado Resorts Corp. et al., Case No. 2:14-cv-01415-RFB-PAL. (See Mins. of Proceedings,

7
8

ECF No. 97.) Although no settlement was reached, the parties advised the Court that a global
settlement conference and continuation of the ENE session would potentially advance the goal of

10

settlement. The Court has, therefore, set a global settlement conference for October 12 and 13,

2016, again before Magistrate Judge Foley.

12

dispositive motions, responses, and replies in this case similarly advances the goal of settlement by

13

(See id.)

An extension of the deadline to file

allowing the parties to conserve resources pending those settlement discussions and to streamline

and focus the litigation and issues leading up to that conference. Based upon the foregoing, the
parties have agreed that the dispositive motion deadlines should be extended in the following
manner:

18



Defendants shall file their dispositive motions no later than September 15, 2016;

19



Plaintiff shall file any response to Defendants' motion no later than November 15,
