14

and the order of June 21, 2011 (Docket No. 63) that modified it, the deadline for

15

conducting discovery was July 15, 2011, and the deadline for filing dispositive motions is

October 10, 2011. On September 16, 2011, the defendant BRIMHALL made his first

17

appearance in this case by filing an answer to the plaintiff’s third amended complaint.

19

defendants. The defendants have filed a motion requesting that the parties be permitted

20

21

defendants. The defendants move that this new discovery period conclude ninety (90)

22

days following the appearance of the last-served defendant or the deadline for that

23

defendant to make an appearance. The motion also requests that the deadline for filing

24

dispositive motions be vacated and re-set for ninety (90) days following the close of this

25

new discovery period. Good cause appearing, the defendants’ motion is granted.

26

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
