ORDER
LORNA G. SCHOFIELD, United States District Judge
WHEREAS, the initial pretrial conference in this matter is scheduled for December 9, 2021, WHEREAS, no significant issues were raised in the parties' joint letter or proposed case management plan. It is hereby
ORDERED that the December 9, 2021, initial pretrial conference is cancelled. If the parties believe that a conference would nevertheless be useful, they should inform the court immediately so the conference can be reinstated.

It is further
ORDERED that Defendants request to adjourn the initial pretrial conference is denied as moot.
ORDERED that if Defendants seek to file a motion to dismiss, they shall file a premotion letter pursuant to Individual Rules III.A.1 and III.C.2. It is further
ORDERED, regarding settlement discussions, the parties' request for a referral for mediation in the District's Mediation Program is granted. The referral will issue in a separate order.
The parties should be aware that the Court does not extend the deadlines for fact and expert discovery absent compelling circumstances.
The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close the motion at Dkt. No. 21.
