JOINT STIPULATION
The parties stipulate and agree to a brief two-week extension for dates related to
17 discovery. The parties continue to litigate this matter and have had additional settlement
18 discussions. One of Defendant’s potential experts was sick and out of communication for over
19 a month. Both parties could use additional time to further develop discovery in this matter.

A court may modify a deadline for good cause. Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b). Continuing
21 pretrial and trial dates is within the discretion of the trial judge. See King v. State of California,
22 784 F.2d 910, 912 (9th Cir. 1986). The parties submit that the above facts provide good cause
23 for a brief extension of the discovery-related deadlines.
