WHEREAS, pursuant to the Scheduling Order, the deadline to file dispositive motions is 

June 12, 2015, and the deadline for hearing on dispositive motions is July 15, 2015;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Scheduling Order, the Settlement Conference is set for April 

27, 2015, the Pretrial Conference is set for August 19, 2015, and Trial is set for September 29, 

2015;

WHEREAS, the parties have informally engaged in settlement discussions for the last 

three months, during which time the parties conducted informal discovery to conserve resources 

while attempting to settle this matter;

WHEREAS, it has taken the parties more time than expected to mutually agree on a 

mediator and to schedule a mediation date;

WHEREAS, the parties have a mediation set for April 15, 2015 with Buzz Wiesenfeld of 

Judicate West;

WHEREAS, the parties agree that they would like to avoid the expense of time and 

resources associated with further discovery in this matter while they engage in settlement 

discussions and attend mediation. The parties believe that a continuance of the current trial date 

and all related scheduled dates will promote judicial economy in that the parties will be able to 

delay incurring further litigation expenses until after the mediation;

WHEREAS, the parties have met and conferred regarding continuing the dates set forth 

in the Court’s August 27th scheduling order; 

WHEREAS, Defendant is unavailable in December 2015 and counsel for Plaintiff is 

unavailable in January and February 2016 due to trials in other cases; 

WHEREAS, the parties respectfully request that the Court vacate the current trial date 

and pretrial deadlines and reschedule all associated dates and deadlines by approximately 160 

days at times convenient for the Court and counsel. This additional time will allow the parties to 

continue engaging in settlement discussions, and complete discovery before the dispositive 

motion deadline, assuming mediation is unsuccessful;
