______________________________________ )
THIS MATTER COMES BEFORE THE COURT by way of the parties’ request to
extend the deadline within which they must mediate the case to November 3, 2017. The Parties
have advised the Court that they would like to explore settlement at or before mediation.
Accordingly, the parties have asked for the deadline to file the joint stipulation and the parties’
respective memoranda to be moved to December 3, 2017. The Court believes that, for good cause
shown, 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 this case to November 3, 2017 and to file a Joint
Stipulation and the Parties’ respective memoranda in the matter sub judice to December 3, 2017.
WHEREFORE, it is ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that the parties’
deadline by which they are ordered to mediate is hereby extended to November 3, 2017, and to
file a joint stipulation and the parties’ respective memoranda pursuant to the court’s specialized
case management order in the matter sub judice is hereby extended until December 3, 2017. In all
other regards, the parties shall comply with the specialized case management order.

AND, IT IS SO ORDERED.
Signed this 5th day of October, 2017, in Columbia, South Carolina.
