Defendants

Order Extending Deadlines
in Light of Upcoming Global Settlement
Conference

8

[ECF Nos. 18, 25]

A virtual, global settlement conference is set for January 27, 2022, in this matter and

10 several others that Plaintiff Donald E. Mitchell, Jr., has pending in this district. 1 Mitchell asks
11 this court to stay his cases pending that settlement conference. 2 I do not find that Mitchell has
12 demonstrated that a complete stay of this action is necessary, so I thus deny his motion to stay
13 this case. 3 But to avoid prejudice to the parties, I sua sponte extend the deadlines impacted by
14 the pending settlement conference.
15

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that

16

•

The motion to stay [ECF No. 25] is DENIED;

17

•

The deadline to file dispositive motions, currently set for January 18, 2022,

18

[ECF No. 18] is extended to February 18, 2022; and

ECF No. 24.

ECF No. 25.

This order addresses this case only; it does not decide whether a stay is appropriate in
Mitchell’s matters pending before other judges in this district.
