WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to submit their respective claims to mediation or an 

early settlement conference;

WHEREAS, in the interests of cost savings and judicial economy, the parties agree to 

continue the discovery and expert disclosure deadlines to September 1, 2016 and November 15,

action;

& SMITH 

The request for continuance is PARTIALLY GRANTED. The parties do not identify when 

mediation will occur, and generally, settlement negotiations is not good cause. Nonetheless, a short 

continuance will be granted. The discovery cut off is continued to August 1, 2016 and the expert 

disclosure deadline is continued to September 9, 2016. The dispositive motions hearing deadline of 

November 17, 2016, pretrial conference of March 13, 2017, and trial date of May 16, 2017 remain 

unchanged. No further continuances will be granted absent good cause.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
