Case No.: 11-CV-04569-LHK

ORDER RE: REQUESTED SCHEDULE
CHANGE

16
17

The parties have requested that the Court extend the deadlines for expert discovery and

18

continue the pretrial conference and trial dates. ECF No. 29. The parties have explained that

19

difficulty in scheduling depositions, combined with the large quantity of documents produced, has

20

slightly delayed the discovery process. Accordingly, the parties’ request to extend expert

21

discovery deadlines is GRANTED.

22

The parties have not, however, provided any good reason why the trial date should be

23

continued. The change to the expert discovery schedule has not altered the time between summary

24

judgment and trial, and the parties have offered no reason why they need to alter the trial date of

25

April 29, 2013, which has been on the calendar since the initial case management conference on

26

May 9, 2012. In any event, the Court’s trial schedule cannot accommodate such a change.

27

Accordingly, the parties’ request to continue the pretrial conference and trial dates is DENIED.

28

The case schedule is altered as follows:
