`ORDER
`
`
`The parties filed a joint status report on January 13, 2014, informing the
`
`court that settlement discussions are moving forward, but that the parties intended
`to discuss a schedule to govern in the event that the case cannot be resolved. See
`Doc. 56. On January 31, 2014, the parties filed a second joint status report,
`including two proposed schedules. See Doc. 57.
`
`Because the parties were unable to agree on a schedule, the court sets the
`
`following schedule:

`party may, for good cause, move the court to revise the schedule should changes
`become necessary.
`
`Also within 14 days of this order, the parties shall inform the court whether a
`
