STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE TRIAL (SECOND REQUEST)
Plaintiff CAROLYN LA BAUVE HAMPTON (“Plaintiff') and Defendants ALBERTSON'S, LLC d/b/a ALBERTSON'S; SAFEWAY INC. d/b/a ALBERTSON'S; ALBERTSON'S STORES SUB LLC; and AB ACQUISITION LLC (“Defendants”), by and through their respective attorneys, submit this STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE TRIAL (SECOND REQUEST) pursuant Rules 6(b) and 26(f) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Local Rules 6-1 and 26-4 for the Court's consideration.
Good cause exists for the continuance. The parties participated in a Settlement Conference on July 6,2023. While a settlement was not reached, strides were made. The parties have now agreed to participate in a private mediation. With the upcoming holidays, and the scheduling of the mediation, the requested extension of time will provide sufficient time after the mediation to allow the parties to conduct further settlement discussions thereafter if the case does not resolve at that time, and will ultimately provide adequate time for the parties to prepare for Trial if a settlement cannot be reached. Therefore, a continuance will also help to facilitate the parties' settlement efforts.
The current trial date is December 10,2023, with the Calendar Call scheduled for November 28,2023 at 9:30 a.m. The parties agree that the trial and all associated deadlines, including that related to motions in limine, be continued to late March 2024 or as soon thereafter as this matter may be heard. This Stipulation to Continue Trial is made in good faith and not for purposes of undue delay.
IT IS SO ORDERED:
