JOINT REQUEST TO CONTINUE DATES FOR GENERAL ORDER 71 DISCLOSURE AND CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE; ORDER
HON. RICHARD SEEBORG UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Time: 11:00 a.m.
Plaintiff Sharon S. Chand (“Plaintiff”), and Defendant Michael S. Regan (“Defendant”), hereby STIPULATE and respectfully REQUEST that the Court (1) continue the date for the parties to exchange General Order 71 disclosures until December 9, 2022 and (2) vacate and continue the Case Management Conference, presently scheduled for December 1, 2022, until January 12, 2022, or as soon thereafter as the Court is available.
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 filed a motion to dismiss certain claims in the Amended Complaint on September 16, 2022, see Dkt. 35, which was submitted without oral argument pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-1(b) on October 27, 2022. See Dkt. 41.
On August 10, 2022, the Court so-ordered the parties' proposed case schedule (see Dkt. 34) which set November 10, 2022 as the date for the parties to exchange General Order 71 disclosures, and directed Defendant to file an answer to all of Plaintiff's remaining claims 14 days after the pending motion to dismiss is decided or the final complaint is filed. On November 8, 2022, Plaintiff requested a one-time extension of her time to provide General Order 71 disclosures due to a recent illness. Defendant consented to this request. The parties also discussed continuing the Case Management Conference until after the pending motion to dismiss is decided and/or after Defendant has answered the Complaint.
Accordingly, the parties request that the Court (1) continue the date for the parties to exchange General Order 71 disclosures until December 9, 2022 and (2) vacate and continue the Case Management Conference, presently scheduled for December 1, 2022, until January 12, 2022, or as soon thereafter as the Court is available.
SO STIPULATED.
Respectfully submitted,
ORDER
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the parties shall exchange General Order 71 disclosures by December 9, 2022. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Case Management Conference, presently scheduled for December 1, 2022, is vacated and continued until January 12, 2023 .
