I. STIPULATED MOTION
This Court issued an Order Setting Jury Trial to begin November 4, 2024, and Pretrial
Dates. Dkt. # 217. On October 10, 2024, the Parties engaged in a full-day mediation with Mr. Steve
Festor, a mediator appointed through the Court’s Pro Bono Mediation Program. While the Parties
did not reach settlement on October 10, the Parties believe that they are close to resolving the case
and that a continuance in the trial date and remaining case deadlines will allow for time to explore
that resolution opportunity. The Parties have conferred on their availability for trial dates. The
parties, therefore, stipulate to extend the trial date in this matter to February 4, 2024.
For the foregoing reasons, the parties jointly request relief from the current November 4,
2024, trial date and remaining court deadlines. The Parties ask that the Court set a date for trial in
