ORDER
Before the Court is the parties’ Joint Report (ECF No. 274), filed April 24, 2024. In the
report, the parties explain that they remain engaged in settlement discussions following the in-
person mediation that took place on April 3, 2024. ECF No. 272 at 1. To allow for continued
negotiations, the parties propose staying this matter for one additional week. Id. Finding good
cause, the Court ORDERS that these proceedings remain stayed until May 1, 2024. By this date,
the parties SHALL file the appropriate settlement papers. Should the parties fail to resolve this
matter by this date, each side SHALL furnish to the opposing party amended Rule 26(a)(1) Initial
Disclosures and Rule 26(a)(2) Expert Disclosures by May 2, 2024. At that point, the Court will
also proceed with resetting the schedule in this case pursuant to its obligation to ensure cases move
at a diligent page toward final resolution. See FED. R. CIV. P. 1 (identifying the duty to “secure the
just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of every action and proceeding” (emphasis added)).
SO ORDERED this 25th day of April, 2024.
