Plaintiff until November 9, 2007 to respond to Defendants' Motion for Leave to Amend Answer. (Dkt. 118). 3. The October 30, 2007 settlement conference between the parties, mediated by
Judge Smith, proved productive and the parties are currently working out the terms of a settlement. 4. Plaintiff filed a second motion for extension of time on November 7, 2007 (Dkt.
122) so that the parties could continue to focus on the terms of the settlement with the assistance of Judge Smith. The Court granted Plaintiff's motion (Dkt. 123), allowing Plaintiff until December 17, 2007 to respond to Defendants' Motion for Leave to Amend Answer. 5. Though the parties are working diligently to agree on settlement terms, a final
agreement has not yet been reached. 6. To that end, the parties are planning to hold an additional settlement conference
with Judge Smith, which is in the process of being scheduled. 7. Accordingly, the parties are hopeful that this matter can be resolved in the near
future without need for further litigation between them. 8. Plaintiff requests that its time to respond to Defendants' motion be extended until
February 15, 2008, so that, in the intervening period (60 days), the parties can continue to focus their attention on attempts to settle and resolve this matter short of trial. 9. 10. Defendants have been consulted and consent to the proposed extension. This request is not submitted for the purpose of delay, and the requested
enlargement of time will not unduly delay the Court's judgment in this matter.
