JOINT REQUEST TO CONTINUE CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE AND SET CASE SCHEDULE;
ORDER
HON. RICHARD SEEBORG, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
Plaintiff Sharon S. Chand (“Plaintiff”), and Defendant Michael S. Regan (“Defendant”), by and through undersigned counsel, hereby STIPULATE and respectfully REQUEST that the Court vacate and continue the Case Management Conference (“CMC”), presently scheduled for August 31, 2022, until October 20, 2022, and adopted the further case schedule as set forth below.
This action, filed on October 5, 2021, includes four causes of action related to claims for employment discrimination. See Dkt. 1. Defendant was served on December 27, 2021. Defendant moved to dismiss the Complaint on February 25, 2022. See Dkt. 16. On July 1, 2022, the Court granted the motion to dismiss for two of Plaintiff's claims, and denied the motion for Plaintiff's two remaining claims. See Dkt. 27. The Court directed that Plaintiff file an Amended Complaint within 30 days, and Plaintiff did so on August 1, 2022. See Dkt. 32. Defendant expects to move to dismiss the two claims that were previously dismissed in the Court's July 1, 2022 order, and expects to answer the two claims for which the previous motion to dismiss was denied.
On August 10, 2022, the parties discussed the upcoming case schedule as the Court had recently moved the upcoming Case Management Conference to August 31, 2022, a date that counsel for Defendant is unavailable due to official travel. Plaintiff also expressed that she would be unavailable in August and part of September due to forthcoming medical treatment. The parties therefore discussed a case schedule that accommodated all of these issues.
Accordingly, the parties request that the CMC scheduled for August 31, 2022, be vacated and continued until October 20, 2022, and that the following case schedule be adopted:
Friday, September 16
Motion to Dismiss due for any claims where Defendant intends to move to dismiss
