JOINT STIPULATION FOR CONTINUED SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE; ORDER
STANLEY A. BOONE, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC" or "Plaintiff") and Defendants Farmers Insurance Exchange ("Defendant"), through their respective counsel of record, hereby stipulate pursuant to Rules 16 and 26 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure as follows:
1. Good Cause to Conduct Settlement Conference
Pursuant to the Local Rules, the parties have engaged in good faith settlement discussions and believe that a settlement conference in front of the magistrate judge may produce a settlement in this matter; however, due to outstanding discovery disputes and other matters, the parties believe that an extension of time will enable the parties to more fully participate in fruitful settlement discussions.
2. Stipulation to Conduct Settlement Conference
The parties stipulate that the Scheduling Order be amended to reflect the following new deadlines:
a. Settlement conference shall be conducted on April 23, 2015;
b. Confidential settlement conference briefs shall be submitted no later than one week prior to the settlement conference.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
ORDER
For good cause shown, the stipulation to conduct settlement conference is granted. The settlement conference shall be continued from March 20, 2015 to April 23, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. before Magistrate Judge Stanley A. Boone. Confidential settlement conference briefs shall be submitted no later than April 16, 2015.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
