WASHINGTON, Jan 3 (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice

Department and Boeing ( BA ) told a court on Friday they have not

reached agreement on a revised plea deal after a U.S. judge in

December rejected the deal, faulting a diversity and inclusion

provision.

Boeing ( BA ) and the government "continue to work in good

faith toward" a new agreement, they said in a joint filing. They

asked U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor to give them until Feb.

16 to provide a new update.

In July, Boeing ( BA ) agreed to plead guilty plea to a criminal

fraud conspiracy charge in the wake of two fatal 737 MAX

crashes. The planemaker also agreed to pay a fine of up to

$487.2 million and spend $455 million to improve safety and

compliance practices over three years of court-supervised

probation as part of the deal.
