ORDER
Eunkyong Choi, Special Trial Judge.
This case was calendared for trial at the Court's Los Angeles, California trial session, which was scheduled to begin November 14, 2022. On November 4, 2022, the parties filed a Joint Motion for Continuance. On November 9, 2022, the Court served an Order granting the Motion, striking the case from the calendar and giving the parties until December 16, 2022, to file either a signed decision document or file a Status Report apprising the Court of the then-present status of the case. On December 16, 2022, respondent filed a Status Report indicating that petitioner's representative had not yet mailed them a box full of petitioner's documents and they requested more time to receive and process the documents. On December 29, 2022, the Court served an Order giving the parties until January 26, 2023, to file either a signed decision document or file a Status Report apprising the Court of the then-present status of the case. On January 25, 2023, respondent filed a Status Report indicating to the Court that petitioner's representative had sent them the box of documents but that more time was needed to review them.
Upon due consideration, it is hereby
ORDERED that, on or before March 24, 2023, the parties shall submit to the Court either a stipulated decision or file a joint report (or separate reports, if preferred) regarding the then-present status of this case. 1
