The judge could have decided to give the parties more time to settle. And, the parties' counsel may have suggested in chambers that they were discussing settlement and "might not mind" if the case were put off a couple of months. The judge took the hint, and that way neither of the parties looks like they are trying to delay. I prefer this rationale.
