ANTHONY AMEEN Plaintiff, v. PROFESSIONAL RODEO COWBOYS ASSOCIATION, INC., et al., Defendants.
ORDER [DOCKET NO. 19]
NANCY J. KOPPE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Pending before the Court is the parties' stipulation to extend deadlines. Docket No. 19. The parties seek to extend Defendants' time to respond to Plaintiff's amended complaint, and to extend the deadline to conduct a Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(f) conference. The Court GRANTS in part and DENIES in part the parties' stipulation. Docket No. 19.
The parties request an extension of time to respond to Plaintiff's amended complaint to allow for Defendant Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association to clarify its counsel under an indemnification agreement and further investigate Plaintiffs claims. Id. at 2-3. The parties also seek this extension to allow for further settlement negotiations. Id. at 3. For good cause shown, the Court GRANTS the parties' request to extend Defendants' time to respond to Plaintiffs amended complaint. Defendants must file their responses to Plaintiff's amended complaint no later than February 10, 2023.
The parties also seek to extend their time to conduct a Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(f) conference until after any dispositive motions are fully resolved, including any interlocutory appeals that may be taken. Id. The parties are, therefore, requesting a stay of discovery, but fail to address the applicable standards. Id. Accordingly, the parties' request to extend the time to conduct a Rule 26(f) conference is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
