v.
RUBEN CASANOVA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:17-cv-00917-JLT (PC)
ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’
MOTION TO MODIFY DISCOVERY
AND SCHEDULING ORDER
(Doc. 46)
Dispositive Motion Deadline: 2/7/2020

16
17

Defendants move to modify the Court’s discovery and scheduling order (Doc. 37) to

18

extend the dispositive motion deadline by 9 days. (Doc. 46.) The current dispositive motion

19

deadline is January 29, 2020. (Doc. 37 at 2.) Defendants state the additional time is required to

20

complete the motion for summary judgment they intend to file, including finalizing supporting

21

declarations. (Doc. 47 at 1, 2.) Defense counsel declares that, despite her diligent efforts,

22

preparations for an upcoming trial and deadlines in other matters have prevented her from

23

completing the motion by the present deadline. (Id. at 4-5.) The time for Plaintiff to file an

24

opposition or statement of non-opposition has not yet passed; however, the Court finds neither

25

necessary here and deems the motion submitted.

dispositive motions. All other deadlines remain in effect.
