Page 1

WHEREAS, this action under the Fair Housing Act was originally assigned to the 

Honorable Michael J. Seng;

WHEREAS, counsel for Plaintiffs LaVonna Castellano and Project Sentinel, Inc. 

(collectively, “Plaintiffs”) and Defendants Access Premier Realty, Inc., Daniel Akulow, Dolores 

Valenzuela and Elvia Addison (collectively, “Defendants”) held their conference pursuant to 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(f) in accordance with Judge Seng’s order setting an initial 

scheduling conference (ECF No. 3);

WHEREAS, this action was later reassigned to the Honorable Morrison C. England, Jr., 

which reassignment vacated the initial scheduling conference that was then calendared (ECF 

Nos. 12 and 13);

WHEREAS, after the reassignment of the case, counsel for Plaintiffs and Defendants 

diligently litigated this action, conducting discovery, engaging in further pleading and motion 

practice, retaining the services of a private mediator and attending an in-person mediation 

session with their counsel;

WHEREAS, the Court recently issued its order on partial summary judgment regarding 

Defendants’ liability (ECF No. 38);

WHEREAS, counsel for Plaintiffs and Defendants are actively engaged in settlement 

discussions and have scheduled a further in-person mediation session for August 8, 2016;

WHEREAS, on July 12, 2016, the Court issued an order requiring a Joint Scheduling 

Report;

WHEREAS, in light of the on-going settlement discussions and the upcoming mediation, 

an extension of time for the submission of the Joint Scheduling Report is likely to avoid the
