          STIPULATED REQUEST FOR ORDER CHANGING TIME

          JACQUELINE SCOTT CORLEY, Magistrate Judge.

         STIPULATED REQUEST FOR ORDER CONTINUING DEADLINE TO COMPLETE MEDIATION

         Plaintiff, Sagent Energy, LLC ("Sagent") and Defendants, U.S. Capital Partners LLC, Jeffrey Sweeney, Charles V. Towle, Ish Spencer, and Anthony Rodriguez ("Defendants") (collectively, the "Parties"), jointly request the Court for an order extending the established deadline to complete mediation in the above-captioned case until August 31, 2015. In support, the Parties state as follows:

         1. On December 12, 2014, Sagent filed its Complaint against Defendants in the District Court for the Northern District of California. See Complaint [Doc. No. 1].

         2. On December 16, 2014, the Court entered an Order setting the initial case management conference and ADR deadlines (the "Order"). See Order [Doc. No. 5].

         3. On March 2, 2015, Defendants filed an Answer to the Complaint. See Answer [Doc. No. 25].

         4. On March 5, 2015, the Court granted Parties' request to change the date of the Initial Case Management Conference to April 16, 2015 [Doc. No. 31].

         5. On April 3, 2015, the Parties filed a Joint Case Management Statement requesting that the Deadline to Complete Mediation be set on June 30, 2015 [Doc. No. 38]. On April 21, 2015, the Court entered a Pretrial Order, setting the Deadline to Complete Mediation on June 30, 2015 [Doc. No. 46].

         6. At the April 16, 2015 Initial Case Management Conference, it was anticipated and discussed with Judge Corley that an extension to the Deadline to Complete Mediation might need to requested in order to complete discovery needed prior to mediation.

         7. On June 9, 2015, prior to a call with the Court assigned mediator, Brian Haughton, the Parties discussed potential objections to discovery. Defendants' counsel indicated to Plaintiff's counsel that Defendants intended to object to certain Discovery Requests by Plaintiff. During the subsequent call with Brian Haughton, the Parties agreed to request an extension of the mediation deadline until August 31, 2015 so that the Parties would have time to potentially resolve this discovery dispute.

         8. Accordingly, the Parties request that the Deadline to Complete Mediation be continued until August 31, 2015.

         9. The requested extension is not made for the purpose of delay, but instead is requested to more efficiently and effectively litigate and mediate this case.

         10. Extension of the deadline requested in this Request would only result in changing the Deadline to Complete Mediation and would not affect any other deadlines established in the case.

         11. No previous requests for extensions of the deadlines set in the Pretrial Order have been made in this case.
