JOINT REQUEST AND STIPULATION, AND PROPOSED ORDER, TO CONTINUE MANDATORY SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE PENDING A VOLUNTARY SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE WITH RETIRED JUSTICE NANCY M. SAITTA
DANIEL J. ALBREGTS, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between Plaintiffs KELSY ARLITZ, individually; GARY ARLITZ, as general guardian of ward KELSY ARLITZ, and KARIE ARLITZ, as general guardian of ward KELSY ARLITZ, through their counsel of record, PRINCE LAW GROUP, and Defendant GEICO CASUALTY COMPANY, through its counsel of record, McCORMICK, BARSTOW, SHEPPARD, WAYTE & CARRUTH LLP and MUNGER, TOLLES & OLSON, LLP, as follows:
WHEREAS, on August 08, 2023, the Court ordered “that the parties are to attend a settlement conference before the magistrate judge assigned to this case. Should they fail to settle all of the issues headed for trial, they must file a joint pretrial order in accordance with the local rules of this district no later than 14 days after the final settlement conference.”
WHEREAS, on August 14, 2023, the Hon. Magistrate Judge Albregts set a settlement conference for September 21, 2023, at 10:00 A.M.
WHEREAS, the parties have previously attended two settlement conferences in this case with Retired Nevada Supreme Court Justice Nancy M. Saitta acting as mediator;
WHEREAS, the parties believe that, given Justice Saitta's familiarity with the parties and history of the case, the parties would benefit from first attending a further settlement conference with Justice Saitta, before they attend a mandatory settlement conference with Judge Albregts;
WHEREAS, the parties have reached out to Justice Saitta, and her next available in-person mediation session is October 2, 2023;
WHEREAS, counsel for Plaintiffs is, further, not available on September 21, 2023;
THEREFORE, the parties STIPULATE and REQUEST that the Court vacate the mandatory settlement conference now set for September 21, 2023, to permit the parties to first attend a further settlement conference with Justice Saitta on October 2, 2023. The parties will provide the Court a status update on the outcome of that conference no later than October 16, 2023. In the event that that settlement conference is unsuccessful, the parties will request in that status report that the Court set a date for a mandatory settlement conference with Judge Albregts. If that later conference, in turn, is unsuccessful, the parties will prepare a joint pretrial order within 30 days of the mandatory settlement conference with Judge Albregts.
ORDER
IT IS SO ORDERED.
