SCHOFIELD, District Judge: WHEREAS, the initial pretrial conference in this matter is scheduled for February 1, 2023; WHEREAS, no significant issues were raised in the parties’ joint letter or proposed case management plan.

It is further ORDERED, regarding settlement discussions, the parties’ request for a referral to mediation is GRANTED. The referral will issue in a separate order.

The parties should be aware that the Court does not extend the deadlines for fact and expert discovery absent compelling circumstances.
