On February 23, 2015, the Court granted Counterclaimants’ motion to file a second amended

17
18

counterclaim. (Doc. 48) The counterclaim named Peerless Insurance Company as an additional

19

crossdefendant and Peerless answered on April 6, 2015. (Doc. 53) In light of the appearance of this

20

new party, the case schedule previously ordered would not allow sufficient opportunity for discovery

21

by Peerless. On April 27, 2015, the parties filed a joint status conference report setting forth proposed

22

dates for the amended schedule. (Doc. 55) After having considered the joint statement, the Court

The date proposed by the parties—January 12, 2016—would not allow for disputes related to experts to be heard. Thus,
the Court selects a date after the close of expert discovery so that any issues related to experts may be resolved before the
time for filing dispositive motions. Likewise, the dates suggested for dispositive motions, the pretrial conference and the
trial do not allow sufficient time for the Court to decide motions, etc., and, therefore, could not be selected.
