The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable John C.
Coughenour, United States District Judge:

17

This matter comes before the Court on the parties’ stipulated motion to extend the

18

deadline for Defendants to file their responsive pleading. (Dkt. No. 7). The parties ask the Court

19

to establish a briefing schedule for a prospective motion to dismiss and to relieve Defendants

20

from the deadline to file their answer to Plaintiffs’ complaint. The Court does not find good

21

cause to enter the parties’ stipulated briefing schedule, which varies substantially from the

22

timelines established in Local Civil Rule 7(d). The Court ORDERS that Defendants file their

23

answer to Plaintiffs’ complaint no later than April 3, 2018, which is the date of their status

24

conference. This order does not preclude the parties from moving for relief from the above

25

deadline.
