The discovery and scheduling order in this matter was filed on June 18, 2019. On April

10, 2020, Defendants filed a motion to modify the discovery and scheduling order in this matter.

20

Defendants seek to extend the deadline to file dispositive documents by sixty days. Counsel for

Defendants has presented a declaration in which he states that due to the COVID-19 restrictions

exists to modify the discovery and scheduling order.
