No. 2:17-cv-00235-RSM

THIS MATTER came before the Court upon the parties’ Stipulated Motion to

17
18

Continue Trial Date and Related Deadlines (the “Stipulated Motion”). The Court considered

19

the Stipulated Motion and the documents filed with the Court in this action. Having

20

considered the foregoing, and otherwise being fully advised, the Court finds that good cause

21

to postpone trial date and other related deadlines while (1) the Court considers the pending

22
cross-motions for summary judgment and (2) the parties meet to exchange information,
23
24

discuss and clarify the issues, and determine whether this matter can be resolved through

25

direct settlement discussions or mediation. The Stipulated Motion is therefore granted, and the

26

court will continue the remaining case scheduling deadlines at least 120 days while the Court
