CASE NO. 1:16-cv-01525-LJO-JLT (PC)
ORDER LIFTING STAY;
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION
FOR SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE;
ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’
MOTION FOR AMENDED SCHEDULING
ORDER; AND

18

AMENDED DISCOVERY AND
SCHEDULING ORDER

19

(Docs. 87, 89)

20
Following Defendants’ motion for summary judgment for failure to exhaust

21
22

administrative remedies, the Court vacated the dates set forth in the Discovery and Scheduling

23

Order and stayed discovery pending resolution of the motion. (See Docs. 64, 77.) The Court

24

denied the defendants’ motion. (Docs. 81, 86.) Defendants now move for an amended scheduling

25

order.

26

28

In addition, Plaintiff has filed a motion to set this case for a settlement conference. (Doc
89.) Defendants, for their part, continue to believe that a settlement conference would not be

1

fruitful. (Doc. 90.) Because all parties are not in agreement to participate in the conference,

2

Plaintiff’s motion will be denied. Based on the foregoing, the Court ORDERS that:

3

1. The discovery stay is LIFTED;

4

2. Defendants’ motion for an amended scheduling order is GRANTED. The Discovery

5

and Scheduling Order (Doc. 52) is amended as follows:

6

a. All discovery, including filing motions to compel, SHALL be completed no

7

later than January 29, 2020;

8

b. Any pre-trial dispositive motions SHALL be filed no later than April 1,

9
10

2020;
3. Plaintiff’s motion for a settlement conference is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
