2016 or, if more convenient for the Court, to October 26, 2016, the next Wednesday after 

October 5, 2016 on which they are available;

WHEREAS, the parties agree that continuing the date set for the Initial Scheduling 

Conference to the same date as the hearing on Plaintiff’s Motion, October 5, 2016, will prevent 

the parties from incurring undue time and expense on travel;

WHEREAS, no prior continuances have been requested;

WHEREAS, continuing the hearing on the Motion to Remand and the Initial Scheduling 

Conference to October 5, 2016 will not affect the schedule for the case aside from the requested 

date changes and the attendant briefing schedule on Plaintiff’s Motion to Remand;

WHEREAS, because the requested extension of time comprises 15 days, and the trial 

date has not been set, the effect on the schedule for the case should be minimal;

NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto stipulate and agree that:

(1) The September 20, 2016 hearing date on Plaintiff’s Motion to Remand is 

continued to October 5, 2016 or, if more convenient for the Court, October 26, 2016, and the 

briefing schedule will be set pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Local Rules 

of the Eastern District of California; and

(2) The Initial Scheduling Conference set for September 20, 2016 is continued to the 

same date set for the hearing on Plaintiff’s Motion to Remand, October 5, 2016 or, if more 

convenient for the Court, October 26, 2016.

IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.
