SKYLINE RISK MANAGEMENT, INC., Plaintiff, v. YANNIS LEGAKIS and LACONIC RISK SOLUTIONS, Defendants.
ORDER
KEVIN NATHANIEL FOX, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The plaintiff filed a stipulation, Docket Entry No. 51, signed by counsel to both parties, wherein the parties “agreed” to the following: (1) the plaintiff withdraws its motion to amend the complaint appearing at Docket Entry No. 24; (2) the plaintiff may file an amended complaint on or before June 4, 2021; (3) the defendants shall serve any amended counterclaims and their response to the amended complaint on or before June 18, 2021; (4) the plaintiff's time to serve initial disclosures pursuant to Rule 26 is extended up to and including June 4, 2021; and (5) “the deadline to join parties is extended to 30 days following a mediation between the parties, which is currently scheduled for July 15, 2021.” The parties seek the Court's endorsement of their stipulation as an order of the Court. No. need exists for the Court to sign the stipulation allowing the plaintiff to amend its complaint. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(2) allows a party to amend its pleading “with the opposing party's written consent, ” which the defendants have given. The request to extend the deadline to join parties to the action is denied without prejudice, as good cause to amend the scheduling order, Docket Entry No. 49, has not been shown.
SO ORDERED:
