(“Plaintiffs”) and WESLEY GRINDER, et al., (“Defendants”), by and through their 

attorneys of record, that GOOD CAUSE exists and the parties respectfully request that the 

Court continue the Settlement Conference, in the above-entitled action presently set for 

September 15, 2016 to a new date of the Court’s convenience not sooner than November 

15, 2016. 

 During the pendency of this case, counsels for the parties have worked diligently to 

prepare their cases in accordance with the Court’s Pretrial Scheduling Order. The case to 

date has been handled for the defense by the City Attorney’s office. However, 

the primary attorney working on the case, Ted Wood, is no longer with the City 

Attorney’s Office and the City Attorney’s Office is in the process of retaining 

outside counsel to handle the defense. 

 As such, the parties cannot conduct a meaningful Settlement Conference until 

outside counsel has been retained and become familiar with the case. The 

parties anticipate that will take up to two months. The requested two-month 

extension will not impact the trial date of this action, currently set for August 

28, 2017.
