3
The parties have good cause to request an extension for the expert discovery deadline
4
because the parties are working cooperatively to schedule expert deposition(s) but need additional
5
time as a result of scheduling issues involving both counsel and the experts. Therefore, all parties
6
join in requesting an extension of the expert discovery deadline.
7
The parties also have good cause to extend the date to file a dispositive motion and have such
8
motions heard because of the additional time required to complete expert deposition(s). Therefore,

all parties join in requesting an extension of the date to file a dispositive motion and have such

The parties report that they’ve had difficulty scheduling depositions of their experts. They
3
don’t explain why this difficulty exists, the specific cause of the difficulty or when they
4
discovered they would be unable to complete the expert discovery as required by the scheduling
5
order. Notably, in their joint scheduling report, they sought only 60 days to complete expert
6
discovery (Doc. 24 at 4) and the Court granted this request (Doc. 28 at 3). Now they seek an
7
additional 60 days for expert discovery.
to decide dispositive motions (eight weeks from the filing of the motion is needed) or sufficient
10
time between the pretrial conference and the trial (eight weeks is needed for the filing and decision
11
on the in limine motions). Consequently, the proposed schedule is unworkable for the Court.
