The parties stipulate, subject to this Court’s approval, and hereby jointly move, to continue the 

status conference, currently scheduled for Tuesday, January 5, 2016, at 3:30 p.m. PST, to Tuesday, 

January 12, 2016, at 3:30 p.m. PST. The reasons are as follows: 

1. Pursuant to the Court’s Stipulated Scheduling Order dated January 15, 2015 (ECF No. 

134) and further Order dated November 23, 2015 (ECF No. 334), the Court has scheduled a monthly 

telephonic status conferences, with the next conference scheduled for January 5, 2016, and the parties’ 

agenda to be filed on January 1, 2016. 

2. Because the upcoming conference falls immediately after the Christmas and New Year’s 

holidays, with the agenda to be filed on New Year’s Day, the parties suggest that a one-week 

continuance will allow for a more robust agenda and productive conference. 

3. Accordingly, the parties request, subject to approval of the Court, that the status 

conference, currently scheduled for Tuesday, January 5, 2016, at 3:30 p.m. PST, be continued to 

Tuesday, January 12, 2016, at 3:30 p.m. PST, with the parties’ agenda to be filed on Friday, January 8, 

2016. 

4. The requested continuance will not affect any other dates previously set by the Court. 

Dated: December 29, 2015
