KUSH, INC., Plaintiff(s), v. FRANK VAN VRANKEN, Defendant(s).
ORDER
[DOCKET NO. 102]
NANCY J. KOPPE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Pending before the Court is a stipulation to extend the deadline to file the joint proposed pretrial order by 119 days. Docket No. 102. The Court finds that the parties' intent to mediate their dispute warrants an extension, though the parties have not arranged a date for that mediation so the Court cannot make a finding that the lengthy extension sought is warranted. Accordingly, the stipulation is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. The deadline for filing the joint proposed pretrial order is EXTENDED to May 18, 2022.
The stipulation indicates that the parties seek a 90-day extension, but the math is faulty. See Docket No. 102 at 2 (seeking current deadline of April 18, 2022, be reset to new deadline of August 15, 2022).
Counsel must promptly coordinate a date for the mediation. To the extent a further extension is sought, counsel must identify a firm mediation date in any such request.
IT IS SO ORDERED. 1
