STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND TIME FOR PARTIES TO SUBMIT JOINT PRETRIAL ORDER (FIRST REQUEST)
DANIEL J. ALBREGTS UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Defendant MGM Resorts International and Bellagio, LLC (collectively, “Defendants”), and Plaintiff Brendan Tankersley (“Plaintiff”) (collectively “the Parties”), by and through their undersigned counsel, stipulate to, and agree upon, an extension of the deadline to submit a Joint Pretrial Order to January 31, 2024. This is the Parties' first request to extend the deadline to submit a Joint Pretrial Order and is not made for purposes of undue delay as discussed in further detail below.
1. On September 30, 2023, this Court entered its Order denying both Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment and Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment. (ECF No. 110.) The Parties are currently due to submit the Joint Pretrial Order on October 30, 2023, thirty (30) days from the Court's Order regarding the dispositive motions. (ECF No. 79.)
2. On October 18, 2023, the Parties engaged in an initial call regarding submission of the Joint Pretrial Order, including a discussion regarding settlement. The Parties have agreed to submit the matter to private mediation, have agreed on a mediator, and are in process of securing a date for mediation on November 28, 2023.
3. In order to help preserve the Parties' resources and to allow them to focus their efforts on case resolution, and in consideration of the upcoming holidays following the anticipated mediation date, the Parties hereby stipulate and agree they shall have up to and including January 31, 2024 to submit a Joint Pretrial Order.
This stipulation is not brought for purposes of delay or any other improper purpose.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
