THIS MATTER comes before the Court on the parties Stipulated Motion to Amend

17

Briefing Deadlines. (Dkt. No. 22.) This case was filed on April 3, 2017. (Dkt. No. 1.) The

18

parties have previously requested, and the Court has previously granted, one continuance to

19

extend briefing deadlines. (Dkt. Nos. 16, 17.) Presently, the parties’ response briefs are due on

20

January 3, 2018. (Dkt. No. 17.) On January 2, 2018, the parties filed their request seeking a

21

further continuance. (Dkt. No. 22.) The parties suggest that continuance is needed to allow them

22

to “concentrate their efforts on a mediation currently scheduled for February 1, 2018.” (Dkt. No.

23

22.) However, the parties were aware of the briefing deadlines when they scheduled the
