STIPULATION
Pursuant to LCR 7(d)(1) & 10(g), the parties file this stipulated motion to extend the
initial scheduling dates the Court ordered set on December 15, 2017. See Dkt. 4. Good cause
supports granting an extension of these scheduling dates because Defendant Robert W.
Ferguson has filed a motion to dismiss (Dkt. 12) that is noted for consideration on February 2,
2018, and is potentially dispositive as to Plaintiff TVI, Inc.’s claims in this action. The Court’s
ruling on Defendant’s motion to dismiss will determine whether TVI’s claims will proceed and
what discovery will be required in the action—the subject of the Joint Status Report and
Discovery Plan that the parties are required to submit to the Court under Rule 26(f). Dkt. 4.
The parties requested this extension in a phone call to the Courtroom Deputy on January
12, 2018. To allow the Court to consider and rule on Defendant’s motion to dismiss, the parties
STIPULATED MOT. AND ORDER TO EXTEND
