2. Defendant executed and Plaintiffs filed a Waiver of the Service of Summonts [Dkt. #14] 

on November 5, 2018. Defendant filed an Answer to the Complaint on January 2, 2019 [Dkt. #17]. 

3. Defendant provided Plaintiffs’ Auditors with the requested documents to complete the 

Audit. Once the audit is complete, the Parties will attempt to informally resolve any dispute that may 

exist relative to the audit findings. 

4. Should the Parties be unable to resolve this matter informally, mediation is scheduled for 

April 12, 2019 in compliance with the Court’s January 17, 2019 Order [Dkt. #25]. 

5. Based on the foregoing, the Parties respectfully request that the Case Management 

Conference, currently set for March 26, 2019, be continued for approximately sixty (60) days to allow 

sufficient time for Plaintiffs’ Auditors to complete the audit report, for the Parties to work to resolve this 

matter informally, without the necessity for further litigation, and/or for the Parties to resolve this matter 

by participating in the April 12, 2019 mediation.
