Defendants.

On March 29, 2021, the parties filed a joint stipulation requesting modification of the

18
19

Scheduling Order deadline for Plaintiff Dimitrios Kastis to file a motion to amend the pleadings

20

or add new parties from June 18, 2021 to August 18, 2021. (Doc. 52.) The parties explain that

21

the extension of time is necessary because new defense counsel will be substituting into this case

22

and will need time to become familiar with the matter and to respond to Plaintiff’s recently served

23

discovery. Plaintiff agreed to allow Defendant Joe Alvarado a 60-day extension of time to

24

respond to the discovery requests provided that Plaintiff is allowed a 60-day continuance of the

25

deadline to file a motion to amend the pleadings or add new parties. The parties indicate that

26

additional time is necessary so that Defendants are not prejudiced while the matter is transitioned

27

to counsel that will be handling the matter. (Id.)
