STIPULATION REQUESTING ORDER TO STAY CASE PENDING RESOLUTION
ANDREW P. GORDON UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Plaintiffs Peter Lykins and Maria Lykins (“Plaintiff”), by and through their counsel of record, Lisa A. Rasmussen., Esq. of Law Offices of Kristina Wildeveld & Associates, and Defendants, by and through their counsel of record, Jackie Nichols, Esq. of Marquis Aurbach, hereby submit this Stipulation and Request that the case be stayed because the parties have reached a resolution, but the resolution requires agency approval. Accordingly, the parties stipulate as follows and request that the Court enter an order staying all deadlines for a period of 90 days:
1. The parties have reached a resolution, but the resolution must be approved by the Fiscal Affairs Committee of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
2. The next Fiscal Affairs Committee meeting is scheduled for October 23, 2023. Thus, the parties cannot formally finalize their resolution of this case (stipulated dismissal), until LVMPD's Fiscal Affairs approves the resolution.
3. The parties anticipate being able to finalize this case via stipulation shortly after the October 23, 2023 meeting once approval is provided and request a stay of all proceedings and deadlines up to and including November 13, 2023.
4. The parties thought it prudent to notify this Court of the status to the extent that there is a pending Motion for Leave to Amend (ECF 34) and it would no doubt save the court's resources by not having to wade through that motion, opposition and reply.
5. If for any reason the resolution is not approved, which is unlikely, the parties will notify this Court prior to November 13, 2023 and will request that the stay be lifted. To this end, the parties believe that the stay will freeze any pending deadlines as of the date the court approves it and permit the parties to reset deadlines should that ever be necessary.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
ORDER
Upon the Stipulation of the parties, and good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that all deadlines and pending motions in this matter are stayed until November 13, 2023.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall file either dismissal documents or a status report on or before November 13, 2023 to advise the Court of the Status.
