Parties are seeking an extension making the new deadline 6 December 5, 2025, to file this Joint Pretrial Order. 7 A stipulation to extend time may be supported by a showing of good cause. FRCP 8 Rule 6; Local Rule 26-3. Good cause is not a rigorous or high standard. Ahanchion v. Xenon 9 Pictures, Inc.,
624 F.3d 1253, 1259 (9th Cir. 2010). 10 Here, there is good cause to extend the deadline because: 11 1. On March 28, 2025, this Court issued its summary judgment order. ECF No. 12 176. 13 2. Following this, the Parties attempted to settle this matter through mediation. 14 3. To provide space for mediation, the Parties filed a Stipulation and Order to 15 extend the time to file the Joint Pretrial Order. ECF No. 180 16 4. After working diligently to determine a mutually agreed upon neutral, the 17 Parties scheduled a private mediation for September 2, 2025, with Hon. Jennifer Togliatti. 18 5. The timing of the scheduled mediation required the Parties to request a 19 second extension to the deadline for the Joint Pretrial Order. ECF No. 181. 20 6. This extension was granted and the new deadline was set to November 3, 21 2025. ECF No. 182. 22 7. In preparation for mediation Parties focused their attention on the mediation, 23 dedicating their time to drafting mediation briefs and preparing their respective clients for 24 mediation. 25 8. On August 29, 2025, LVMPD withdrew from settlement discussions and 26 cancelled the mediation. 27 1 9. On September 15, 2025, Plaintiffs’ counsel contacted Defendants’ counsel to 2 begin preparation on the Joint Pretrial Order. 3 10. On September 18, 2025, Parties met to discuss the drafting of the Joint 4 Pretrial Order. 5 11. On October 3, 2025, Defendants’ counsel provided Plaintiffs’ counsel with a 6 working draft of the Proposed Joint Pretrial Order, including initial drafts for contested and 7 uncontested facts, contested legal issues for trial, and a list of approximately 529 exhibits 8 that Defendants are considering presenting at trial. 9 12. Since receiving the draft Plaintiffs have diligently worked to review and 10 provide objections and grounds for each exhibit, identify the exhibits Plaintiffs may offer for 11 trial based on the claims not resolved through the cross motions for summary judgment, and 12 consider what other relevant facts must be included in the joint trial order. 13 13. Parties needed additional time to negotiate objections and potentially parse 14 down the list of exhibits. 15 14. Parties needed additional time to determine whether the relevant facts have 16 been correctly categorized as contested and uncontested. 17 15. Parties needed additional time to determine whether any motions for 18 clarification may be necessary in regards to the Court’s orders on summary judgment. 19 15.
