setting up and scheduling a mediation session and a potential stay of the case pending

encouraging professional courtesy for extensions and settlement discussions, the parties

5

are respectfully requesting a second brief extension on Plaintiffs’ deadline to respond to

6

ECF No. 29. Upon finalizing the details for the mediation session, the parties will report

the same to the Court and may request a stay of litigation as to ECF No. 29. In the event

8

the parties decide against mediation, the parties agree that Plaintiffs’ deadline to respond

to ECF No. 29 should be October 19, 2017.
