ORDER RE STIPULATION TO AMEND
SCHEDULING ORDER

12
v.

(ECF No. 18)

AMERICAN FIRE AND CASUALTY
COMPANY,

15

Defendant.

16
17

A scheduling order issued on January 7, 2021, setting pretrial deadlines, but no trial date

18 was set. (ECF No. 15.) On June 24, 2021, a stipulation was filed to extend the pretrial deadlines
19 by approximately ninety (90) days. (ECF No. 18.) The parties proffer good cause exists because
20 given the location and availability of witnesses, they do not believe they are able to complete all
21 discovery and depositions by the current deadlines, and they also request additional time to
22 consider alternative dispute resolution options.
23

Given that no trial date has been set, this is the first request to amend the scheduling

24 order, and because there is sufficient time between the new proposed dispositive motion filing
25 deadline and the current pretrial conference date of August 15, 2022, as to not require
26 continuation of the pretrial conference, the Court finds good cause and shall grant the requested
27 modifications.
