Date Filed Document Text
May 26, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 16 PAPERLESS ORDER granting in part #14 Joint Motion to Extend Deadline to Prepare and File Discovery Plan and File a Notice of Mediator Selection. The Parties seek 60-day extensions of the May 24, 2021 deadline to file a Joint Discovery Plan and the May 25, 2021 deadline to file a Notice of Mediator Selection. In support, the Parties represent that they "expect settlement to be achieved within the next thirty (30) days." (DE 14 para. 5). To facilitate an amicable resolution of this matter and considering that the requested extension will not impact any other deadline set forth in the Pretrial Scheduling Order, I will grant the Motion in part. Accordingly, the Parties shall file their Joint Discovery Plan and Notice of Mediator Selection by June 23, 2021. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 5/26/2021. (kal)
