WHEREAS matters, including but not limited to anticipated discovery, subject matters of 

discovery, timing of discovery and proposed dates for discovery cut-off, law and motion cut-off, 

estimated length of trial and prospects for settlement cannot be properly assessed prior to a ruling 

on the motion to dismiss, the filing of an amended complaint, notice of what causes of action 

will actually be litigated and notice of Defendants’ affirmative defenses; 

WHEREAS before the pleadings are finalized, the parties’ Joint Status Report will be 

purely speculative as to each of the matters required therein; 

WHEREAS the status conference and the issuance of a Scheduling Order will trigger 

such things as mandatory disclosures pursuant to Fed. R. 26(a) which requiring disclosure of 

witnesses and the subject matters of the witnesses testimony, also cannot be determined until the 

pleadings are finalized such that the parties are aware of the issues raised by the pleadings; 

WHEREAS after the Scheduling Order is issued, a noticed motion Pursuant to Fed. R. 

Civ. P. 16 and a showing of good cause is required to modify the scheduling order; 

WHEREAS the parties wish to avoid wasteful pretrial activities, such as motions to 

modify the scheduling order and believe that judicial economy is furthered and the burden on the 

parties and the Court are lessened by staying the status conference and the issuance of a pretrial 

scheduling order until the pleadings are finalized (i.e. there is a ruling on the motion to dismiss, 

an amended complaint has been filed and Defendants have filed an answer); 

THEREFORE, the parties, by and through their respective counsel, make the 

following stipulated request:
