Tue 10/01 9:21 AM
ORDER: Before the Court is the parties' Stipulation and Joint Motion for Modification of Pretrial Scheduling Order (ECF No.24 ), filed on September 27, 2024. The parties request the Court extend the date for mediation to November 22, 2024. The current mediation deadline is September 30, 2024. ECF No. 23. Because all other deadlines will remain in place and there will be no impact on the trial setting, the Court finds good cause to GRANT the requested extension. The parties SHALL file a mediation report no later than November 29, 2024. Importantly, all deadlines remain as stated in the Court's July 24, 2024, Amended Scheduling Order (ECF No.23 ).
