ORDER

THIS MATTER COMES BEFORE THE COURT by way of the parties’ request to
extend the deadline by which they must mediate the case to February 23, 2017. The parties have
advised the Court that they have scheduled a mediation for February 23, 2017, and that they
would like to explore settlement at or before mediation before preparing a joint stipulation.
Accordingly, the parties have asked for the deadline to file the joint stipulation and the parties’
respective memoranda to be moved to March 25, 2017. For good cause shown, the Court does
believe that an extension of time within which to mediate and to file a joint stipulation pursuant
to the Court’s specialized case management order is warranted. Therefore, the Court hereby
extends the deadline by which the parties must mediate to February 23, 2017, and the deadline to
file a joint stipulation and the parties’ respective memoranda in this matter to March 25, 2017.
WHEREFORE, it is ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the parties’
deadline by which they are ordered to mediate is February 23, 2017, and the deadline for filing a
joint stipulation and the parties’ respective memoranda pursuant to the Court’s specialized case
management order in this is hereby extended until March 25, 2017. In all other regards, the
parties shall comply with the specialized case management order.
