UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON,

CASE NO. C16-1761JLR
ORDER GRANTING
STIPULATED MOTION TO
EXTEND THE CASE SCHEDULE
FOR 60 DAYS

Defendant.

15

Before the court is the parties’ stipulated motion to extend the case schedule and

16

other deadlines for 60 days. (Stip. (Dkt. # 62).) The parties have requested the 60-day

17

extension because they have signed an agreement in principle to settle all claims in this

18

matter, subject to obtaining the approval of those persons with appropriate authority at

19

Defendant University of Washington (“UW”). The court GRANTS the parties’ stipulated

20

motion and adopts the schedule set forth therein. (See id. at 2-3.) The parties should

21

operate on the assumption that the date for the pretrial conference is July 7, 2018, and the

22

date for trial to commence is July 23, 2018—as the parties tentatively propose in their

ORDER - 1

1

motion. (See id.) However, if the parties fail to finalize their settlement agreement

2

within 60 days, the court will set definite dates for the pretrial conference and trial at that

3

time. If the parties fail to finalize their settlement agreement within 60 days, the court

4

ORDERS the parties to file a joint status report at that time. The court further DIRECTS

5

the Clerk to change the noting dates for: (1) the motion to limit expert testimony (Dkt.

6

# 52) to May 18, 2018, (2) the motion for partial summary judgment (Dkt. # 54) to May

7

25, 2018, and (3) the motion for reconsideration (Dkt. # 57) to April 20, 2018.

Dated this 13th day of March, 2018.
