STIPULATION AND ORDER TO SET
SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE AND
EXTEND EXISTING TIMELINES FOR
PLAINTIFFS' COUNSEL'S
APPEARANCE AND FILING OF
PRETRIAL ORDER
Defendant VENETIAN CASINO RESORT, LLC ("Venetian"), by and through its undersigned counsel of record, and Plaintiffs NADIA WALKER, DAWN DUNCAN, MELISSA MESH, and KATHLEEN VINCENT (collectively, "Plaintiffs"), each in proper person, hereby stipulate and agree that before further proceeding toward trial, it is in the parties' best interests to set and attend a settlement conference at the Court's convenience on March 11 and/or 12 and/or 13, 2013, and that to accommodate such conference, the date presently set for the appearance of Plaintiffs' counsel be extended to thirty (30) days after the conference, and the date presently set for the filing of the Pretrial Order be extended sixty (60) days after the date of the conference.
This concept was discussed with the Magistrate at the most recent status check in this action, given that the opportunity to settle the matter presently exists.
Given four (4) Plaintiffs with differing claims for relief, Plaintiffs have respectfully recommended that the assigned Magistrate may wish to contact them for telephonic discussion as to the specific logistics of the settlement conference. To facilitate such discussion, as noted at the December 19, 2012 status check, Kenneth E. Hogan, Esq. (Nevada Bar No. 10083) has been authorized to represent all Plaintiffs in settlement discussions, and is available at (702) 796-5555. Additionally, the Venetian recommends that the Court consider setting respective dates and times for each individual Plaintiff.
