JOINT STIPULATION AND ORDER
Complaint Filed: 09/29/12
First Amended Complaint Filed: 05/10/12
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (hereinafter "EEOC") filed a First Amended Complaint on May 10, 2012, naming, for the first time, FIVEWAY, LLC (hereinafter "FIVEWAY") as an additional Defendant to this action. [Docket No. 17] Since that time, the parties have resumed previously suspended settlement discussions with an eye towards resolving this matter without formal court intervention. The parties have made significant progress with those discussions. However, a final and complete agreement has not been reached. The parties are still working towards that end. To allow the parties sufficient time to engage in those discussions and further the settlement efforts, the parties hereby stipulate and respectfully request that the Court continue the deadline for FIVEWAY to respond to the First Amended Complaint. Doing so will further the parties' settlement efforts by allowing FIVEWAY to focus its limited resources on resolving this matter rather than incurring the legal costs associated with challenging this matter at the pleadings stage. Therefore, the parties stipulate and respectfully request that the Court:
Co-Defendant Sutter Transfer Service, Inc, filed its Answer to the First Amended Complaint.
1. Continue the deadline for FIVEWAY, LLC to respond to the First Amended Complaint to August 10, 2012.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
