Soskin Mot. to Withdraw, ECF No. 35. Although undersigned counsel has begun to confer with
2
Plaintiffs’ counsel regarding proposed further proceedings in this case, they have not yet had an
3
opportunity to complete that process. The brief unopposed extension requested herein would permit
4
the parties an opportunity to try to reach an agreement regarding the next steps in this litigation, or at
5
least to narrow the issues in dispute. Accordingly, the Defendants respectfully ask that the Court
6
extend the deadline for the parties’ joint status report from January 7, 2021 to January 14, 2021.
