Case No.: 1:16-cv-00283 -DAD - JLT
ORDER GRANTING THE STIPULATION TO
AMEND THE CASE SCHEDULE
(Doc. 72)

16
17

The parties have submitted a stipulation to “modify the scheduling order to continue the

18

discovery cut-off and the deadlines for non-dispositive motions.” (Doc. 72 at 2) The reason for the

19

request to amend the case schedule is due to the fact that the Gallardos have, until recently, absented

20

themselves from participation in this litigation. Id. However, they have now agreed to participate in

21

discovery and have agreed to produce documents. Id. at 2-3. Plaintiffs also wish to the take the

22

deposition of these defendants and originally noticed the depositions for March 2017 but, due to the

23

Gallardos no longer cooperating with their lawyers, the depositions did not go forward. Id. at 3. The

24

plaintiffs indicate that the documents and depositions are critical to the prosecution of the action. Id.

25

Therefore, the Court ORDERS:

2

rebuttal experts SHALL be disclosed no later than November 17, 2017. All expert discovery

SHALL be completed no later than December 1, 2017;

No other amendments are authorized.1
