STIPULATED REQUEST TO RESCHEDULE ENE AND EXTEND DISCOVERY DEADLINES (First Request)
The parties, Plaintiff Courtney K. Lee (“Plaintiff”), and Defendants State of Nevada ex rel. its Board of Pharmacy and J. David Wuest (together “Defendants”), by and through their respective attorneys of record, hereby stipulate to request to reschedule the Early Neutral Evaluation (“ENE”) and extend discovery deadlines as follows:
1. The ENE is currently set for February 16, 2023. ECF No. 30.
2. Due to the unavoidable unavailability of one of the parties, J. David Wuest, on February 16, the Parties stipulate and request that the ENE be rescheduled to one of the following dates, if the Magistrate Judge is available:
a. Wednesday, March 1, 2023 or
b. Thursday, March 2, 2023.
3. The Parties further stipulate and request that the confidential evaluation statement be due by 3:00 p.m. seven days before the date set for the ENE, as set forth in the original Order Scheduling Early Neutral Evaluation (ECF No. 30).
4. The Parties further stipulate and agree that the deadlines set forth in the Scheduling Order (ECF No. 28) be extended by two weeks, in connection with extending the date of the ENE by two weeks, as the Parties are focused on negotiating resolution and minimizing litigation fees and costs associated with discovery prior to the ENE.
5. Accordingly, the Parties propose the following new deadlines:
