ORDER STAYING THE ACTION AND 

EXTENDING DEADLINES

(Doc. 80)

This case was stayed on October 29, 2019. (See Doc. 68.) On February 27, 2020, at the 

parties’ request, the Court continued to stay this case and extended the scheduling order dates to 

allow the parties to continue to work toward settlement. (See Docs. 78, 79.) The Court directed

the parties to file either a notice of settlement or a status report on the status of settlement 

negotiations by no later than March 27, 2020. (Doc. 79 at 2.) 

On March 27, 2020, the parties filed a status report requesting that the Court extend the 

stay by 30 days and modify the case schedule. (Doc. 80.) The parties represent that defense 

counsel is experiencing difficulties communicating with Defendants because Defendants are 

occupied by issues with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic affecting their students and 

operations. (Id. at 1–2.) Nonetheless, the parties believe that within the next 60 days “will be able 

to determine whether further settlement talks without the Court's involvement would be fruitful, 

completely resolve the action or at least narrow the issues such that a settlement conference before 

the magistrate judge would be fruitful.” (Id. at 2.) The Court finds good cause to extend the stay 

and modify the case schedule. 

Based on the foregoing and for good cause shown, the Court GRANTS the parties’ 

request.1 IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The stay is EXTENDED until May 26, 2020. By no later than May 26, 2020, the parties 

SHALL file either (1) a notice of settlement or (2) an updated joint status report on the 

status of settlement negotiations and the status of the case.

2. The scheduling order dates are MODIFIED2as follows:

a. The expert discovery deadline be extended to June 9, 2020;

b. The non-dispositive motions filing deadline be extended to June 16, 2020;

c. The non-dispositive motions hearing deadline be extended to July 22, 2020;

d. The dispositive motions filing deadline be extended to July 27, 2020;

e. The dispositive motions hearing deadline be extended to September 9, 2020;

f. The pretrial conference be continued to November 16, 2020; and

 

1 The Court will adjust certain of the parties’ proposed dates to conform to the Court’s scheduling preferences.

2 The Court will re-set the settlement conference, if appropriate, upon receipt of the parties’ updated joint status report 

on the status of settlement negotiations. The parties shall set forth proposed dates for the settlement conference in 

their updated joint status report if they intend to request that a settlement conference be set.
