JOINT STIPULATION AND ORDER EXTENDING DEADLINE TO COMPLETE DISCOVERY
MORRISON C. ENGLAND, Jr., District Judge.
The parties through their respective counsel of record hereby stipulate and request the Court enter an Order to extend the deadline for completing non-expert discovery by sixty (60) days from May 10, 2013, to July 10, 2013.
Pursuant to the Court's PRETRIAL SCHEDULING ORDER (Document 17), the parties are to complete discovery, with the exception of expert discovery, by May 10, 2013. Defendants have responded to Plaintiffs' written discovery, and are in the process of negotiating settlement terms prior to conducting additional discovery. The parties agree that the interests of efficiency and judicial economy will best be served by allowing for additional time to complete settlement negotiations without conducting unnecessary discovery in an effort to avoid waiver of Defendants' right to do so.
Therefore, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between all the parties to this action to extend the deadline to complete non-expert discovery from May 10, 2013, to July 10, 2013.
ORDER
Based on the Joint Stipulation of the parties, and good cause appearing therefor, IT IS ORDERED that the deadline to complete non-expert discovery be and hereby is extended to July 10, 2013.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
