ORDER GRANTING JOINT
REQUEST TO MODIFY SCHEDULING
ORDER (FRCP RULE 16)
(Doc. 11)

Defendant.

17

On September 8, 2020, the parties filed a Request to Modify the Scheduling Order (Doc.

18

11) requesting modification of the initial Scheduling Order issued on January 9, 2020, by

19

Magistrate Judge Sheila K. Oberto. The Parties presented the following good cause in support of

20

their request to modify the scheduling order:

21

1.

After Judge Oberto issued the scheduling order, the parties were able to conduct

22

limited discovery prior to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Thereafter, plaintiff has continued to undergo

23

treatment, and the parties have encountered significant delay in receiving records from Plaintiff’s

24

medical providers, with the facilities advising they cannot produce records due to the pandemic.

25

2.

While the parties have been diligent in pursuing discovery, they will be unable to

26

complete discovery by the present discovery cut-off of October 30, 2020. As such, the Parties

27

request all discovery, expert and dispositive motion dates be continued by approximately 120 days,

28

with the trial date continued according to the court’s availability.
