The parties respectfully request a continuance of the initial scheduling conference currently 

scheduled for January 7, 2025. ECF No. 43. 

Plaintiffs filed their Corrected First Amended Complaint on November 30, 2023. ECF No. 26. 

Defendant filed a motion to dismiss on December 1, 2023, which the parties fully briefed on January 12, 

2024. ECF Nos. 28, 35, 38. Also pending is Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment, for which the 

Court stayed briefing on December 14, 2023, pending resolution of Defendant’s motion to dismiss. ECF 

Nos. 27, 36. 

After the motion to dismiss was filed, the Court has twice continued the Initial Scheduling 

Conference. ECF Nos. 40, 43. On May 1, 2024, the Court ordered an Initial Scheduling Conference for 

September 26, 2024, continuing the previously set conference from May 30, 2024, due to the status of 

the case. ECF No. 40. On July 31, 2024, the Court continued the Scheduling Conference to January 7, 

2025, due to the status of the case. ECF No. 43. At this time, the Defendant’s motion to dismiss remains 

pending, and the preliminary status of this case has not changed. Given that there is a dispositive motion 

pending, the parties agree that continuing the scheduling conference would promote efficiency by

allowing time for the Court to rule on Defendant’s dispositive motion and for the parties to thereafter

confer regarding how this matter should proceed and advise the Court in a joint scheduling report. For 

these reasons, the parties request that the Initial Scheduling Conference be continued to a date at least 30

days after issuance of the Court’s order on the pending motion to dismiss. 

December 12, 2024.

 Respectfully submitted,
