ORDER

THIS MATTER COMES BEFORE THE COURT by way of the parties’ request to
extend the deadline within which they must mediate the case to December 26, 2017. The parties
have advised the court 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 January 23, 2018. For good
cause shown, the court believes 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 December
26, 2017, and extends the deadline to file a joint stipulation and the parties’ respective
memoranda in the matter sub judice to January 23, 2018.
WHEREFORE, it is ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that the parties’
Motion for Extension of Time, ECF No. 11, is GRANTED. The parties’ deadline by which they
are ordered to mediate is extended to December 26, 2017, and the deadline 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 January 23, 2018. In all
other regards, the parties shall comply with the specialized case management order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
Signed this 25th day of October, 2017, in Columbia, South Carolina.
