The above-captioned parties stipulate and agree as follows:

16

1.

On December 8, 2020, and after this Court entered its order on the mandate issued

17 by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirming a summary-judgment
18 decision by this Court (ECF No. 187), the Court entered a minute order directing the parties to
19 submit their proposed joint pretrial order by January 7, 2021 (ECF No. 190).
20

2.

Shortly after the recent holidays, plaintiff David Jonathan Thomas retained the law

21 firm of Holland & Hart LLP to represent him in this litigation. Given the recent retention of
22 Holland & Hart, counsel for Mr. Thomas will need additional time to review the rich history of
23 this case before being able to discuss an appropriate proposed joint pretrial order with counsel for
24 defendants, including identifying the factual and legal issues that must be addressed at trial. The
25 additional time will also provide the parties with an opportunity to discuss whether a settlement
26 conference should be scheduled before a Magistrate Judge. If so, the parties would want to
27 participate in a settlement conference to determine whether a trial is necessary.

3.

In accordance with LR 26–3, this is the first request for an extension of the deadline

2 to file a proposed joint pretrial order, and is made with good cause and in good faith and not for
3 purposes of delay. The parties believe the extension of time will allow them to discuss and present
4 a proposed joint pretrial order tailored to the factual and legal issues in this case, as well as allow
5 them to discuss whether a settlement conference would be appropriate. Thus, for these reasons,
6 the parties have agreed to extend the deadline to submit the proposed joint pretrial order by 32
7 days. If approved, the proposed joint pretrial order will now be due by Monday, February 8, 2021.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
