ORDER (AS MODIFIED) GRANTING JOINT STIPULATION FOR CONTINUANCE OF INITIAL CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE AND DEFENDANT'S RESPONSIVE PLEADING ORDER (AS MODIFIED)
HON. DONNA M. RYU JUDGE
WHEREAS, the instant matter was filed on July 14, 2021 [Dkt. 1];
WHEREAS, on September 2, 2021, the Parties stipulated to extend Defendant's time to respond to the Complaint to October 1, 2021 [Dkt. 7];
WHEREAS, the Court set an initial case management conference for September 29, 2021, with a joint report due September 22, 2021 [Dkt. 5];
WHEREAS, as Defendant has just appeared in this action, the case is not at issue such that the Parties request the case management conference be continued by 63 days to provide time for the Parties to exchange information and meet and confer about the matter;
WHEREAS, Defendant additionally wishes for a further extension of 30 days on its responsive pleading deadline while the Parties exchange information;
WHEREAS, good cause exists for such extension in the interests of judicial economy and cost savings, as permitting the Parties to further explore an exchange of information and engage in settlement discussions prior to incurring the costs associated with the scheduling conference will facilitate such discussions.
Thus, the parties jointly stipulate that:
The scheduling conference set for September 29, 2021 be vacated, and continued to December 1, 2021, or a later date that is convenient to this Court and the joint status report be due seven (7) days before the new date.
Defendant's responsive pleading deadline is extended to November 3, 2021.
SO STIPULATED.
