No. C 15-00241 WHA
ORDER DENYING REQUEST
TO EXTEND DEADLINES
RELATING TO EXPERT
DISCOVERY AND
DISPOSITIVE MOTIONS

The deadline to complete and serve expert reports is JANUARY 7. The parties have filed a

14

joint stipulation requesting an extension to all deadlines relating to expert discovery and

15

dispositive motions due to delays in the exchange of certain medical evidence. The proposed

16

schedule sets the deadline to file dispositive motions as FEBRUARY 29, with such motions to be

17

heard on APRIL 4. The undersigned judge holds his civil law and motion calendar on Thursdays,

18

so any motion filed on FEBRUARY 29 would not be heard until APRIL 7 — one day after the final

19

pretrial conference. The parties’ request is therefore DENIED. This is without prejudice to a

20

stipulated request that sets the deadline to file dispositive motions no later than FEBRUARY 25, to

21

be heard on MARCH 31.
