Case No.: 16cv2945-GPC (NLS)

v.
COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO, et al.,
Defendants.

[ECF No. 34]

19

Before the Court is the parties’ joint motion to enlarge time to file a joint motion

20

for determination of a discovery dispute and to enlarge fact discovery, expert discovery,

21

and pre-trial motion dates. ECF No. 34.

22

As to the discovery dispute deadline, the parties represent that Defendants have

23

produced some documents to Plaintiffs after the Protective Order was issued. ECF No.

24

34-1 at 4. The parties further represent that they are working together to resolve the

25

remaining disputes and Defendants are searching for the documents that Plaintiffs

26

requested. Id. at 5-6. The Court finds good cause to GRANT the motion to enlarge time

27

to file a joint motion for discovery dispute from January 25, 2018 to March 2, 2018. The

28

Court cautions the parties that this is the third extension that has been granted (see ECF
1
16cv2945-GPC (NLS)

1

Nos. 29, 31) and any further requests are likely to be denied barring extraordinary

2

circumstances.

3

As to the request to enlarge fact discovery cutoff, expert discovery dates, and the

4

pre-trial motions deadline, the Court DENIES the request. This is the third request to

5

enlarge pre-trial dates, the previous two which the Court granted. ECF Nos. 24, 29. The

6

parties generally state that more time is needed due to the delay in getting the discovery

7

related to the discovery dispute, but fail to explain why they are unable to meet the

8

specific deadlines. Thus, the Court finds that the parties have not shown good cause to

9

extend the deadlines at this time.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
