On August 30, 2018, the Court issued a scheduling order setting the trial date and

18 associated pretrial deadlines in this matter. (ECF No. 16.) On June 24, 2019, the parties filed a
19 stipulation requesting the Court’s approval of an agreement to extend the expert discovery
20 deadlines and the dispositive motion deadline in this matter. (ECF No. 24.) The Court shall
21 grant the proposed extensions to the expert discovery deadlines. However, given the limited
22 time between the proposed dispositive motion deadline and the currently set pretrial conference
23 and trial dates, the Court shall deny, without prejudice, the proposed extension of the dispositive
24 motion deadline. The Court reminds the parties of the following language contained in the
25 scheduling order:

Stipulations extending the deadlines contained herein will not be

where appropriate attached exhibits, which establish good cause for granting
the relief requested. The parties are advised that due to the impacted nature
of civil cases on the district judges in the Eastern District of California,

1

Fresno Division, that stipulations to continue set dates are disfavored and
will not be granted absent good cause.
