MANDATORY SCHEDULING 

CONFERENCE; ORDER 

GRANTING STIPULATION 

STIPULATION

Plaintiff filed this lawsuit in December 2015 and requested a waiver of service on January 

6, 2016. Defendants agreed to waive service and, under FRCP 4, therefore have until March 7, 

2016 to answer or respond to the complaint. Because the parties are communicating in an attempt 

to seek resolution of the issues that give rise to the complaint, the parties hereby stipulate to an 

extension of Defendants’ time to answer or respond to the complaint until April 6, 2016, and to 

request that the Court reset the Mandatory Scheduling Conference in this matter from April 7, 

2016 to May 12, 2016. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between the 

parties hereto, by and through their respective counsel, to stipulate to an extension of Defendants’ 

time to answer or respond to the complaint until April 6, 2016, and to request that the Court reset 

the Mandatory Scheduling Conference in this matter from April 7, 2016 to May 12, 2016.
