Plaintiff,

No. 2:10-cv-1171 LKK DAD P

vs.
DEEPAK MEHTA, et al.,

14

Defendants.

15

ORDER
/

16

Counsel on behalf of both parties have submitted to the court a joint motion to

17

modify the scheduling order in this action. In the motion, counsel explain that they were under

18

the impression that they could not proceed with discovery until the court entered a discovery

19

order, which it did only recently. In addition, plaintiff may be able to locate defendant Uppal,

20

and there is a possibility that the court will grant defendant Capitano’s pending motion to set

21

aside entry of default.

22

Under these circumstances, and good cause appearing, the court will vacate the

23

current scheduling order and re-set a schedule for this litigation according to the parties’

24

proposed scheduling dates. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b).
