ORDER STAYING CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS
JANE M. VIRDEN UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Before the court is the parties' Joint Motion for Stay of Existing Deadlines. [377]. The parties request that the court stay this action and all deadlines set forth in the Class Certification Scheduling Order for 90 days so that settlement discussions may proceed between the parties. Having considered the matter and being notified this is a joint motion, the court finds that the motion is well taken and should be granted.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the aforementioned proceedings are hereby STAYED for 90 days and all upcoming deadlines in the Class Certification Scheduling Order by 90 days. If negotiations fail to produce a settlement in 90 days, the parties will resume litigation under the Class Certification Scheduling Order with the following deadlines: Defendants' expert designation deadline of August 18, 2022; a discovery deadline of September 29, 2022; a Daubert motion deadline of October 20, 2022; and a class-certification motion deadline of November 24, 2022.
SO ORDERED.
