Stip. & Order Cont. Def.’s Responsive Pleading & Case Manage. Conf. Date (14-CV-04111 NC)

Conference. Plaintiff recently filed an amended complaint, and the parties have completed 

informal discovery and are currently assessing their respective positions and the merits of the 

case. The additional requested time will allow the parties to explore resolving this matter before 

engaging in protracted litigation and the unnecessary expense of resources. So that the parties 

can consider resolution of the case and better use the Court’s time and resources, the parties 

respectfully request that the Court extend dates as detailed below. Because no other dates have 

been set, and given the early stage of the litigation, the requested time modification has no impact 

on the case’s schedule.

ACCORDINGLY, the parties stipulate and respectfully request that the Court issue an 

order continuing relevant procedural dates in the suit and deadlines set forth in the April 10, 2015 

Case Management Order as follows:

September 4, 2015 Defendants’ Answer or Responsive Pleading due

September 9, 2015 Case Conference Statement due

September 16, 2015 Case Management Conference

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
