v.

Order

NEVADA PROPERTY 1 LLC,

14
15

[Docket No. 24]

Defendant(s).
Pending before the Court is a stipulation to reschedule the Early Neutral Evaluation

16 (“ENE”), Docket No. 24, which is DENIED without prejudice.
17

The Court’s order setting the ENE clearly set out the procedure for requesting a change of

18 date for the ENE, which the parties failed to follow. Docket No. 23 at 1 n.1. Further, the date
19 suggested by the parties, one month prior to the discovery cut-off, frustrates the purpose of the
20 ENE program. See LR 16-6. Finally, the parties request separate types of relief in the same
21 stipulation, in violation of LR IC 2-2(b). Accordingly, the parties’ stipulation, Docket No. 24, is
22 DENIED without prejudice. Any renewed request to change the date of the ENE and/or for
23 exemption from personal appearance shall be filed no later than 12:00 p.m. on September 14, 2018
24 and shall comply in full with all orders and rules of the Court.
25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
