STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE DISCOVERY DATES
GARY S. AUSTIN, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiffs David Lozano and Jazmin Rivas ("Plaintiffs"), and Defendant United States ("United States"), stipulate, by and through the undersigned counsel, to extend the discovery deadlines in this action to allow for the parties to engage in settlement negotiations. No dispositive dates are affected by this stipulation.
The parties agree to a short extension of the discovery dates to allow the parties to engage in a settlement conference with the Honorable Judge Thurston on October 16, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. The parties submit that this request is being made for good cause to allow the parties time to meaningfully explore settlement prior to extensive discovery, depositions and pre-trial disclosures. The stipulation does not change any of the dispositive deadlines, nor the pre-trial conference or trial dates.
Accordingly, the parties stipulate and agree to continue the following dates, and base it on the above-stated good cause.
Old Date New Date Close of non-expert October 18, 2013 December 6, 2013 discovery Expert Disclosure November 15, 2013 December 13, 2013 Supplemental Expert December 20, 2013 January 17, 2014 Disclosure
ORDER
Having reviewed the stipulation submitted by the parties, the dates are continued as referenced above. All other dates set in this Court's scheduling order issued on March 20, 2013 (Doc. 8), remain in full force and effect.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
