Case No. 1:18-cv-00744-NONE-SKO

THIRD ORDER EXTENDING STAY BY 

30 DAYS AND EXTENDING

SCHEDULING ORDER DEADLINES

(Doc. 78)

ORDER

On January 28, 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. 71, 72.) 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 February 26, 2020. (Doc. 72 at 2.) 

On February 25, 2020, the parties filed a status report requesting that the Court extend the 

stay by 30 days and modify the case schedule. (Doc. 78.) The parties represent that defense counsel 

is experiencing difficulties communicating with Defendants because Defendants are occupied by 

issues with Coronavirus affecting their students. (Id. at 1–2.) Nonetheless, the parties believe that 

within the next 30 days “they will be able to 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.)
