It is further ORDERED that if Defendants seek to file a motion to dismiss, they shall file a pre-motion letter pursuant to Individual Rules III.A.1 and III.C.2. It is further ORDERED, regarding settlement d iscussions, the parties' request for a referral to mediation is GRANTED. The referral will issue in a separate order. The parties should be aware that the Court does not extend the deadlines for fact and expert discovery absent compelling circumstances. (Signed by Judge Lorna G. Schofield on 1/5/2023) (ks)

WHEREAS, no significant issues were raised in the parties’ joint letter or proposed case

conference and setting of a trial date. It is further
ORDERED that if Defendants seek to file a motion to dismiss, they shall file a premotion letter pursuant to Individual Rules III.A.1 and III.C.2. It is further
ORDERED, regarding settlement discussions, the parties’ request for a referral to
