Filing 21

ORDER granting pltf's 19 Motion to Extend Discovery Deadline; Discovery due by 11/18/2011; the other deadlines will remain in place, as will the trial date. Signed by Chief Judge J. Leon Holmes on 10/11/11. (vjt)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
PINE BLUFF DIVISION
CASSANDRA F. BROWN
v.

PLAINTIFF
NO. 5:11CV00067 JLH

DREW FOAM COMPANIES, INC.

DEFENDANT
ORDER

Cassandra F. Brown has filed a motion to extend time in which she requests an extension of
the discovery deadline. The Court previously ordered production of documents and answers to
interrogatories, the response to which are due on or about November 5, 2011. Brown’s motion states
that she needs those answers and documents to depose Drew Foam’s management. She says that the
extension of time will necessitate an extension of all of the dates in the scheduling order. Drew foam
has responded and stated that it does not object to extension of the discovery deadline, provided the
trial is continued and all of the other deadlines are extended.
For good cause shown, the motion for extension of the discovery deadline is granted.
Document #19. The time within which discovery must be concluded is extended up to and including
November 18, 2011. While the parties seem to agree that that extension will necessitate an extension
of the other deadlines and perhaps a continuance of the trial, the Court does not see why the other
deadlines in the scheduling order need to be extended nor the trial continued based on this short
extension of the discovery deadline. Therefore, the other deadlines will remain in place, as will the
trial date.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 11th day of October, 2011.
