ORDER DENYING THIRD
STIPULATION FOR EXTENSION OF
TIME OF DISCOVERY CUTOFF AND
RELATED DATES
(ECF No. 158)

12
13

On November 6, 2019, the parties filed a second stipulation for an extension of time of the

14

discovery cutoff and related dates. (ECF No. 155). The Court modified the schedule as requested

15

by the parties. (ECF No. 156). The Court also warned the parties that, as “this [was] the second

16

stipulation for an extension of the discovery deadlines, and that discovery has already been open for

17

over a year, no further extensions of the discovery deadlines will be granted.” (Id. at 2).
On February 22, 2020, the parties filed a third stipulation for an extension of time of the

18
19

discovery cutoff and related dates. (ECF No. 158). The stipulation does not address the Court’s

20

prior warning, and the Court will not extend the discovery deadlines further. Moreover, the

21

proposed amended dates do not leave enough time between the dispositive motion filing deadline,

22

which the parties propose to extend to October 1, 2020, and the trial, which is set for March 16,

23

2021.

For these reasons, the parties’ request for extension of time is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
