Plaintiff and Defendants file this stipulated motion pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
6(b)(1)(A), to extend the time within which to complete discovery, based upon the following:
This Court’s December 19, 2017 Scheduling Order (Dkt 19) sets a deadline of August 9, 2018

22

for the parties to complete discovery. Order at 3:20. Plaintiff was proceeding in the case pro se until

23

undersigned counsel filed a Notice of Appearance on May 15, 2018 (Dkt 39). While Plaintiff was

24

proceeding pro se he did not conduct any discovery apart from making the required initial disclosures.

25

Plaintiff’s counsel has not had sufficient time to gain a thorough understanding of the facts, propound

26

written discovery, find rebuttal experts, and notice depositions to complete discovery within the

27

current deadline. Counsel for Defendants agrees that the additional time for discovery will assist the

parties in preparing the case for trial.
Accordingly, the parties move the court to extend the time within which to complete discovery
until September 14, 2018. Such extension should not interfere with the March 5, 2019 trial setting, and
will leave adequate time for the filing and consideration of dispositive motions.
