ORDER CONTINUING
NON-EXPERT DISCOVERY CUT-OFF

v.
CHARLOTTE PIPE AND FOUNDRY
COMPANY
Defendant.

17
18

The Court, having reviewed the parties’ June 5, 2018 Stipulation to Continue Non-Expert

19
20

Discovery Cut-Off, finds that good cause exists for the requested continuance under Rule 16(b) of

21

the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Section VIII of the Supplemental Pretrial Scheduling

22

Order dated October 21, 2016, based upon the parties’ inability to complete non-expert discovery

23

prior the deadline presently set therefor, despite all parties having acted, and continuing to act,

24

diligently in conducting discovery, due to the large number of third-party witnesses to be deposed

25

(including the subrogee, general contractor, architect, engineering consultant, and plumbing

26

subcontractor), as well as lengthy delays in the production of large volumes of documents by

27

some of those same third parties.
