The Court issued a case schedule in this matter on December 28, 2016. (Doc. 32) On July 10,

18

2017, at the mid-discovery status conference, the Court learned that during January 2017, counsel for

19

the plaintiff became seriously ill and was away from his office until March 2017. When he returned,

20

he had a backlog of cases and did not turn his attention to this matter until May 2017. Since that time,

21

he has been working on gathering the information for the plaintiff’s initial disclosure. At the

22

conference the Court ordered the plaintiff to make her disclosure no later than July 14, 2017, finding

23

that the disclosure had been far too delayed. Because there remains insufficient time for the parties to

24

discovery the case, the Court GRANTS their request (Doc. 35 at 1) to amend the case schedule to add

25

90 days to the current dates, as follows:
