STIPULATION TO MODIFY SCHEDULING ORDER AND CONTINUE PRETRIAL STATEMENT DEADLINE; ORDER
STANLEY A. BOONE, Magistrate Judge.
STIPULATION
Subject to approval by this Court, Plaintiffs Sandrika Medlock and Lisa Hardiman, on the one hand ("Plaintiffs"), and Defendants Taco Bell Corp. and Taco Bell of America, Inc. on the other hand ("Defendants") (collectively, the "Parties"), by and through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate to the following:
1. On December 16, 2014, this Court issued a Scheduling Order (Dkt. No. 521) setting November 6, 2015 as the deadline for the parties to file their Joint Pretrial Statement.
2. On June 10, 2015, pursuant to stipulation by the parties to extend some of the pre-trial deadlines in this matter, the Court modified its scheduling order (Dkt. No. 537) to set November 4, 2015 as the deadline for the parties to file their Joint Pretrial Statement.
3. The Parties are now in the process of briefing for Plaintiffs' Motion for Summary Judgment (Dkt. No. 542), set for hearing November 4, 2015, and Defendant's Motion to Decertify (Dkt. No. 543), set for hearing November 25, 2015.
4. The Parties agree that the outcomes of both the Motion for Summary Judgment and the Motion to Decertify will have a substantial effect on the content of their Joint Pretrial Statement.
5. The Parties also agree that a Joint Pretrial Statement deadline closer to the date of the Pretrial Conference on January 22, 2016 would be appropriate, as contemplated by Eastern District Local Rule 281(a)(1) and (a)(2).
6. Accordingly, the Parties stipulate that there is good cause to modify the Scheduling Order to continue the Joint Pretrial Statement deadline to December 16, 2015, and respectfully request that the Court modify the Scheduling order pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b)(4). This is the Parties' second request to modify the Scheduling Order.
ORDER
Good cause appearing therefore, and pursuant to the parties' stipulation, IT IS ORDERED THAT the dates in the Scheduling Order (Dkt. No. 521) shall be further modified to continue the parties' deadline to file their Pretrial Conference Statement to December 16, 2015.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
