STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND DISPOSITIVE MOTION DEADLINES (FIRST REQUEST)
BRENDA WEKSLER, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Pursuant to LR 1(A) 6-1, Plaintiffs, by and through their counsel of record, Peter Goldstein, Esq. of Peter Goldstein Law Corp. and Defendants, by and through their counsel of record, Craig R. Anderson, Esq. of Marquis Aurbach Coffing, submit this Stipulation and Order to Extend Dispositive Motion Deadlines (First Request). The parties respectfully request that the dispositive motion deadline be extended by thirty (30) days.
Currently, the dispositive motion deadline is December 8, 2021. (ECF No. 23) The parties respectfully request that the dispositive motion deadline be extended until January 7, 2022. Similarly, the parties hereby request that the last day to file a Joint Pre-Trial Order shall be extended thirty (30) days or until February 7, 2022. In the event dispositive motions are filed, the date for filing the Joint Pre-Trial Order shall be suspended until thirty (30) days after decision on the dispositive motions or upon further Order by the Court extending the time period in which to file the Joint Pre-Trial Order.
The parties state that, pursuant to Local Rule 6-1, that good cause exists for the requested extension. The parties agreed to take the depositions of the respective experts after the close of discovery. The depositions have now occurred but the parties are waiting on receiving the transcripts. The experts' deposition transcripts are necessary to the filing of proper motions for summary judgment.
Further, the parties believe that dispositive motions may resolve several of the claims (and maybe the entire case) and therefore could conserve judicial resources.
This extension request is made in good faith, jointly by the parties, and not for the purposes of delay. Trial in this matter has not yet been set. Moreover, since this request is a joint request, neither party will be prejudiced.
This is the first request for extension of the dispositive motion deadline in this matter. The parties respectfully submit that the reason set forth above, constitute compelling reasons for the extension.
WHEREFORE, the parties respectfully request that this Court extend the deadline to file dispositive motions in the above-captioned case for thirty (30) days, up to and including January 7, 2022.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
