WILLIAM J. BERRY, JR.; CYNTHIA
FALLS; SHANE KAUFMANN,

Case No.: 2:17-cv-00019-APG-BNW
STIPULATION AND REQUEST
FOR AN ORDER TO EXTEND
JOINT PRETRIAL ORDER
DEADLINE

Plaintiffs,
vs.
DESERT PALACE, INC. d/b/a CAESARS
PALACE; et al.,

(THIRD REQUEST)

Defendants.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED among Plaintiffs and Defendant
that the deadline for filing the Joint Pretrial Order be extended by 10 days, from
November 2, 2020 to November 12, 2020.
The justification for this extension is as follows. Previously, the Court (on
November 4, 2019) granted the first extension to file the Joint Pretrial Order [ECF No.
149] based on the Defendant’s (then-pending) motion to consolidate (ECF No. 32) this
case with another case, Kaufmann v. Desert Palace, Inc., Case No. 2:18-cv-02037-KJDDJA. On March 25, 2020, in that other case, Kaufmann v. Desert Palace, Inc., USD Judge
1

Case 2:17-cv-00019-APG-BNW Document 170 Filed 11/02/20 Page 2 of 3

1

Dawson issued a decision denying consolidation. ECF No. 48.

2

The parties were then required to submit the Joint Pretrial Order within 60 days of

3

the March 25, 2020 Order in the other Kaufmann case. ECF No. 149. However, another

4

filing occurred in the meantime which impacted that deadline.

5

On November 15, 2019, after the Court issued its first order extending the deadline

6

to file the Joint Pretrial Order, Plaintiffs filed their motion to alter or amend the Court’s

7

order granting in part Defendant’s motion for summary judgment [ECF No. 150].

8

Because the Court’s decision on that motion would have significant impact on the content

9

of the Joint Pretrial Order, the parties again requested a second extension on the deadline

10

to file the Joint Pretrial Order. ECF No. 158. That request was granted on April 3, 2020,

11

making the new deadline 60 days after the Court’s decision on Plaintiffs’ motion to alter

12

or amend. ECF No. 159.

13

On September 3, 2020, the Court issued its order denying Plaintiffs’ motion for

14

reconsideration, thus making the deadline to file the Joint Pretrial Order November 2,

15

2020. ECF No. 163.

16

In light of changes to Plaintiffs’ counsel’s traveling schedule and unavailability,

17

the parties now request that the Court extend the deadline for filing the Joint Pretrial Order

18

by 10 days, from November 2, 2020 to November 12, 2020.

Case 2:17-cv-00019-APG-BNW Document 170 Filed 11/02/20 Page 3 of 3

1

This is the parties’ third stipulation to extend the Joint Pretrial Order filing

2

deadline. As set forth above, this stipulation is made in good faith in order to allow the

3

parties sufficient time to attempt to come to an agreement on a Joint Pretrial Order. This

4

stipulation is not for the purpose of causing any undue delay, and the parties agree that

5

good cause therefore exists for an extension.

DATED this 2nd day of November, 2020.
