JOINT STIPULATION TO RENOTE CROSS-MOTION BRIEFING SCHEDULE
S. KATE VAUGHAN, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
JOINT STIPULATION TO RENOTE CROSS-MOTION BRIEFING SCHEDULE
1. As indicated in the parties' previous stipulation, Dkt. 43, following the filing of the parties' cross-motions, the parties have met and conferred regarding possible resolution or narrowing on the disputed issues in this case.
2. At this time, the parties are working towards a potential total resolution of this case and have exchanged an offer and counter-offer. The parties propose to continue this process to see if resolution without further court action is possible.
3. At a minimum, the parties have narrowed the issues in dispute. However, rather than continue to with motions practice and/or a possible amended complaint at this time, the parties believe that it would be more efficient for the Court and litigants if they focused their efforts on seeing whether a complete resolution is possible during the next few weeks.
4. Therefore the parties jointly agree there is good cause and ask this Court's consent to renote and briefly extend the stipulated cross-motion briefing schedule as follows:
| Current Deadline | New Deadline | |
| Plaintiff's Joint Reply in Support of Plaintiff's Motion and Opposition to Defendant's Cross Motion | November 3, 2023 | November 17, 2023 |
| Defendants' Reply in Support of Defendants' Cross Motion | November 17, 2023 | December 1, 2023 |
I certify that this memorandum contains 207 words in compliance with the Local Rules.
ORDER
IT IS SO ORDERED. The Clerk is directed to renote the parties' cross-motions for summary judgment for December 1, 2023.
