The current Scheduling Order, previously entered by this court on [date], served as a guide for the orderly and timely conduct of the case. However, unforeseen factors have emerged since its inception, including, but not limited to [provide relevant reasons]. These unforeseen factors necessitate the revision of existing deadlines and the introduction of additional steps to guarantee a comprehensive and just resolution.

This extension will ensure that all parties are sufficiently equipped to engage in productive discussions and explore potential avenues for resolution.

Therefore, we kindly request the court's approval of this joint motion for the entry of a Second Amended Scheduling Order, as outlined above, to allow us to best navigate the evolving circumstances of this case. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Yours sincerely, [Party A] [Party B]
