JOINT APPLICATION AND

STIPULATION TO EXTEND DEADLINE

TO AMEND UNTIL AFTER

MEDIATION; [PROPOSED] ORDER

Pursuant to Local Rules 6-2 and 7-12, plaintiffs and defendant 4th and Elm LLC, by and

through their counsel of record, hereby apply for and stipulate to a brief extension of the

deadline to amend the pleadings in this case through April 29, 2016. The current deadline is

March 31, 2016, as set forth in the Court’s minute order dated January 12, 2016 (ECF 24). This

is the first request of any party for an extension of time. No other dates or deadlines will be

affected by this brief extension. 

There is good cause to grant this brief extension of time.

2

First, it is based on the stipulation of counsel. 

Second, the parties seek this extension because they are currently preparing for a

mediation session through the Court’s ADR Department. That mediation is scheduled to take

place on April 14, 2016. 

Third, if the parties are unable to reach a resolution at the mediation, plaintiffs intend to

act diligently to amend the complaint to name the new owners of the subject property as

defendants in the case. The proposed deadline is 15 days following the mediation.

Fourth, this litigation is still in the early stages of discovery, and no other dates or

deadlines will be affected by this extension. The Court has not scheduled a trial date. Other than

the further CMC, scheduled for April 26, 2016, the only date set by the Court thus far is the last

day to amend.
