The parties, pursuant to Local Rules 10(g) and 16, hereby jointly stipulate and move for a 90-day extension of the (1) February 1, 2021 discovery deadline solely for the purpose of taking plaintiff’s deposition, and the (2) March 1, 2021 dispositive motion deadline. The parties do not seek an extension of any other deadline or any deadline that has already passed.

A court may modify a schedule for good cause. Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4). Continuing pretrial and trial dates is within the discretion of the trial judge. See King v. State of California, 784 F.2d 910, 912 (9th Cir. 1986).

The parties submit there is good cause for an extension as the parties are attempting to resolve this matter. The extension will allow the parties to focus on that rather than expending resources on undertakings that will be unnecessary if they are able to resolve the matter.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
