STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND JOINT STATUS REPORT DEADLINE

WHEREAS, this case was removed from Sacramento County Superior Court on 

September 8, 2015 (Dkt. No. 1); 

WHEREAS, Defendant filed a motion to dismiss on September 15, 2015;

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs filed a motion to remand on October 8, 2015; 

WHEREAS, the Parties have fully briefed Defendant’s motion to dismiss and Plaintiffs’ 

motion to remand;

WHEREAS, a Minute Order was issued on October 30, 2015 stating in part that on the

submitted without oral argument and that the November 5, 2015 hearing on those motions was 

vacated (Dkt. No. 11); 

WHEREAS, the Court’s Order Requiring Joint Status Report (Dkt. No. 2) in part requires 

the Parties to prepare and submit a Joint Status Report that includes the Parties’ proposed

management deadlines; 

WHEREAS, the Parties’ Joint Status Report is currently due on November 6, 2015 (Order 

Requiring Joint Status Report ¶ 4); 

WHEREAS, the Parties believe that the Joint Status Report cannot be adequately prepared 

until jurisdictional and pleading issues are resolved through the Parties’ pending motions;

WHEREAS, the Parties further believe that the interests of efficiency and judicial

Status Report;

WHEREAS, no extensions have previously been sought by the Parties in this Court;

NOW, THEREFORE, undersigned counsel for the Parties stipulate and agree that the 

current deadline for preparing and submitting a Joint Status Report should be extended to thirty

to dismiss, and request that the Court so order by signing the accompanying proposed order.
