ORDER

This action is back before the Court on another unopposed motion by the
defendants to extend the time to complete discovery and to file dispositive motions
(Doc. 36), filed July 6, 2012, the date by which discovery was to have been completed in
accordance with the supplemental Rule 16(b) scheduling order (see Doc. 35, at 4 (“All
discovery is to be completed on or before July 6, 2012.”)). Despite the undersigned’s
parenthetical observation in the May 24, 2012 order that no circumstances could be
perceived that would establish “good cause sufficient to amend the scheduling order in
this case again[]” (Doc. 35, at 4 n.2), defendants maintain in the present motion that
additional time is needed to depose the plaintiff and finalize the defendants’ responses
to written discovery propounded by plaintiff (Doc. 36, at 2-3). Counsel for defendants
again points to the language barrier which has existed in this case and the fact that she
has now garnered the services of a translator who has enabled her to effectively

communicate with her clients such that “there should be no further delays in this
matter.” (Doc. 36, at 3.)
Although the undersigned is reticent about granting the present request, it should
be noted that granting the defendants’ motion will have no impact on any of the
remaining deadlines set forth in the supplemental scheduling order. (Compare Doc. 36
with Doc. 35, at 4-5.) Accordingly, the defendants’ second motion for extension of time to
complete discovery and to file dispositive motions (Doc. 36) is GRANTED. All
discovery in this action is to be completed on or before August 1, 2012 and all dispositive
motions are to be filed not later than August 6, 2012.1
DONE this the 9th day of July, 2012.
s/WILLIAM E. CASSADY
UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

This is the final extension of the remaining Rule 16(b) deadlines that will be
granted in this non-jury FLSA action.
