ORDER
THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE COURT regarding the parties’ “Joint Status Report
And Joint Motion To Extend Stay” (Document No. 21) filed June 3, 2024. This motion has been
referred to the undersigned Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), and immediate
review is appropriate. Having carefully considered the parties’ joint filing and the record, the
undersigned will allow the requested relief with modification. Barring extraordinary
circumstances, further extensions of the stay will not be allowed.
The parties reported on May 14, 2024, that they “have reached an agreement in principle”
and requested a stay of twenty (20) days. (Document No. 19). The Court promptly granted the
parties’ second request for a stay, and advised that “further extensions are unlikely to be allowed.”
(Document No. 20); see also (Document No. 16).
Now, the parties seek an extension of forty-five (45) days “to complete forensic analysis
and finalize settlement negotiations.” (Document No. 21). The parties fail to provide an adequate
explanation for why they need a continued stay that is more than double the time they requested
on May 14, 2024. Id.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that this matter is STAYED until July 3, 2024.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall file a Notice Of Settlement on or
before July 3, 2024. In the alternative, the parties should promptly pursue discovery – the current
discovery deadline is August 26, 2024.
SO ORDERED.
