STIPULATED MOTION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER FOR CHANGE OF INITIAL DISCLOSURE DEADLINE
HONORABLE JAMES L. ROBART, JUDGE.
I. JOINT MOTION
Pursuant to LCR 7(d)(1) and LCR 10(g), the parties jointly ask the Court to grant a brief extension of a Court deadline in Dkt. # 9, such that the date by which the parties must exchange Initial Disclosures pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a)(1) is moved from March 8, 2023 to April 10, 2023.
The case involves disputes about a claim for physical damage to property under a homeowner's insurance policy. During the parties' Rule 26(f) conference, they discussed “prompt case resolution” as required. E.g., Dkt. # 9, p. 3, ¶ II.5(A). The parties may be able to resolve this claim shortly, without litigation. They would like the opportunity to focus on early resolution now, without also expending resources on litigation tasks. Therefore, good cause exists to give the parties a one-month extension of the deadline to exchange initial disclosures.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
II. ORDER
It is so ordered.
