Case No.: 1:15-cv-0284 - AWI - JLT
ORDER APPROVING THE STIPULATION OF
THE PARTIES AND MODIFYING THE
SCHEDULING ORDER TO EXTEND TIME FOR
DISCOVERY
(Doc. 67)

On October 27, 2017, Luis Domingo and Management & Training Corporation filed a

18

stipulation to modify the scheduling order. (Doc. 67) The parties seek modification “to allow fact and

19

expert discovery to extend beyond the dates currently set in the scheduling order.” (Id. at 2)

20

According to the parties, they “have been diligently engaging in voluminous written discovery

21

and exchange of materials.” (Doc. 67 at 2) In addition, the parties report they “met and conferred

22

several times to continue case progression and deposition scheduling efforts.” (Id.) Due to constraints

23

on the availability of both witnesses and counsel, the parties believe additional time is necessary to

24

complete depositions. (Id.)

25

Good cause appearing and based upon the stipulation of the parties, the Court ORDERS:

26

1.

28

The parties are ordered to complete all discovery pertaining to non-experts on or before

February 16, 2018, and all discovery pertaining to experts on or before April 6, 2018;
2.

Plaintiff SHALL disclose all expert witnesses on or before February 23, 2018;

All non-dispositive pre-trial motions, including any discovery motions, shall be filed no

later than April 6, 2018, and heard on or before May 4, 2018.

No further modifications of the Scheduling Order are authorized at this time.
