Case No.: 1:14-cv-00524 JLT
ORDER GRANTING STIPULATION TO
MODIFY ORDER AFTER INFORMAL
TELEPHONIC CONFERENCE
(Doc. 34)

After an informal telephonic conference, the Court issued an order detailing the deadlines by

17

which the remaining discovery would be completed. (Doc. 33) Now before the Court is the request of

18

counsel to permit additional time for these deadlines to allow the parties to defer costly out-of-state

19

discovery to allow settlement discussions to occur. Though the desire to engage in settlement

20

discussions, generally, is not a sufficient good cause to modify a case schedule, the Court will allow

21

limited, additional time. Based upon the foregoing, the Court ORDERS1:

22

1.

The deposition of Felix Dorante SHALL be completed no later than August 14, 2015.

23
24

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated:

July 23, 2015

The Court issues no further order related to the depositions of Kenny Jones or Jeremy Kinslow because the deadlines
proposed in the stipulation, July 27, 2015 and August 14, 2015, respectively, comply with the deadlines already set by
the Court which required the Jones deposition to be completed by July 31, 2015 and the Kinslow deposition to be
completed by August 14, 2015. (Doc. 33)
