EXTENSION TO FILE DISCOVERY
DISPUTES

Defendant.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

11

After reviewing the parties’ submissions concerning Plaintiff’s request for a one-

12

week extension to file discovery disputes (ECF Nos. 46 & 47), the Court finds good cause

13

to GRANT a limited extension, even though Plaintiff violated this Court’s standing order

14

by filing her request on the date of the deadline she seeks to extend. Defendants have

15

submitted evidence that they produced the disputed documents in January and not, as

16

Plaintiff contends, on the April 3, 2017 discovery cut-off date. In addition, counsel’s

17

failure to plan for a vacation, or to plan discovery so that there was not a last-minute rush

18

just prior to the cut-off date, does not present good cause for extending the deadline.

19

However, the Court will grant the parties until April 20, 2017, to file discovery

20

disputes that they could not have filed earlier because they did not receive the necessary

21

deposition transcripts. This extension shall not prevent the magistrate judge from denying

22

relief if she finds that counsel has been dilatory in scheduling depositions or requesting

23

transcripts and that such delay warrants denial of the requested relief.

24
25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
