`
`The parties jointly requested the extension because they are discussing
`potential resolution of this proceeding. We grant the parties’ joint request to
`extend the above-noted deadlines at this time, given the short duration of the
`requested extension, the absence of a statutory deadline, and in order to
`further the policy of encouraging settlements.
`It is so ORDERED.
