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 September 1, 2017. The
parties’ current mediation deadline was June 5, 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 mediate be moved to
September 1, 2017 and to file memoranda and a joint stipulation in the matter sub judice to
October 1, 2017. For good cause shown, the court does believe that an extension of time
within which to mediate, file memoranda and 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 September 1, 2017 and to file memoranda and
a joint stipulation in the matter sub judice to October 1, 2017.
WHEREFORE, it is ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that the parties’
deadline by which they are ordered to mediate by September 1, 2017 and to file memoranda
and to file a joint stipulation pursuant to the court’s specialized case management order in the

matter sub judice is hereby extended until October 1, 2017. In all other regards, the parties
shall comply with the specialized case management order.
AND, IT IS SO ORDERED.
