& Casino, LL, and T-UPR, LLC (collectively “Plaintiffs”) and Defendant The Travelers

23

Indemnity Company (“Travelers”), by and through their respective counsel of record, hereby

I.

1

THE JOINT PRE TRIAL ORDER

2

By Decision and Order dated August 9, 2019, the Court granted in part and denied in part

3

Travelers Motion for Summary Judgment and denied Plaza’s Motion for Summary Judgment. In

4

that same Order, the Court referred this case to the United States Magistrate Judge for a

5

mandatory settlement conference. The Court also stayed the parties’ obligation to file their joint

6

pretrial order until 10 days after the settlement conference.
II.

7

THE MANDATORY MEDIATION CONFERENCE

8

By Order dated August 13, 2019, the Court issued an Order requiring the parties to appear before

9

Magistrate Judge Koppe on October 29, 2019, to participate in a mandatory settlement

10

conference. The Court also required that mediation statements be served on Judge Koppe’s

11

mailbox in the Clerk’s Office, on or before October 22, 2019.

12

By Agreement amongst the parties and the Court on October 22, 2019, Magistrate

13

Judge Koppe permitted Plaintiffs to file their mediation statements with the Court on October 23,

14

2019. All parties appeared for the mediation conference on October 29, 2019. The case did not

15

settle at mediation.

16

III.

17

REASONS WHY THE DEADLINES CANNOT BE COMPLETED WITHIN
THE CURRENT SCHEDULE

18

While the parties have been separately working on the Joint Pretrial Order, given the

19

extensive submissions made to the Magistrate in preparation for the mediation, the parties are

20

requesting a short extension with respect to the submission of the Joint Pretrial Order in order to

21

attempt to stipulate to as many facts and exhibits as possible. The parties also hope to firm up the

22

availability of all of the trial witnesses, consistent with the suggested trial dates being submitted

23

to the Court as part of the Joint Pretrial Order. Given the length of the mediation statements, and

24

the 10 day window, good cause exists to extend this deadline despite there being less than 21 days

25

before the Joint Pretrial Order is presently due.
