1

This additional extension of time will permit the Parties to continue to engage in

2

settlement discussions and potentially resolve this matter without further action by the Court.

3

The Parties believe that these settlement efforts will be compromised by simultaneous

4

prelitigation civil filings and practice and that there is good cause for the stay requested.

5

Representative counsel for the parties agreed to extending the stay during related e-mail

6

correspondence on Monday, July 27, 2020.

7

Thus, the Parties respectfully request that the Court enter an Order staying this action for

8

all purposes until August 17th, 2020, so that the Parties can focus on and conduct settlement

9

negotiations and potentially resolve this case.

11

EXECUTED at Seattle, WA, this 27th day of July, 2020.
