The Court has received and reviewed the parties’ Stipulation and Proposed Order to
Extend Trial Date. (Dkt. No. 38)
The parties indicate that, if their February mediation is unsuccessful in resolving their

19

matter, “they will need more time to prepare before trial, which is currently set for March 6,

20

2017.” Id. at 1. They provide no explanation or justification for their lack of preparedness for a

21

trial date which was set nearly a year ago. The fact that counsel, because of their own schedules,

22

are not available for trial until October, 2017 is likewise unacceptable.

23

The request is DENIED; the trial date will remain as set.
