Since October 6, 2021, the plaintiff has indicated she intends to dismiss defendant Karen

18

Celosse from the action and to seek to amend her complaint (Doc. 110). Consequently, the Court

19

granted the stipulation submitted on October 7, 2021 to extend the non-expert discovery to

20

October 14, 2021 and to extend the deadline for Ms. Smithee to respond to the outstanding

21

discovery (Doc. 111). Despite the passage of more than a month. The parties have failed to

22

complete the dismissal and are, again, seeking to extend the deadline for the plaintiff to respond

23

to discovery requests, to take the deposition of the plaintiff and to disclose experts (Doc. 113).
