Defendants have filed a second motion for extension of time to the 90-day stay the

20

Court ordered in its second screening order. (ECF No. 16). The Court entered its second

21

screening order on January 21, 2016. (ECF No. 11). That order imposed a 90-day stay and

22

the Court entered a subsequent order in which the parties were assigned to mediation by a

23

court-appointed mediator. (ECF No. 11, 13). Defendants requested their first extension to

24

accommodate an Early Mediation Conference set for May 27, 2016, a date beyond the 90-day

25

stay entered by the Court. (ECF No. 14 at 2). The Court granted Defendants’ motion and

26

extended the stay through June 20, 2016. (ECF No. 15).
