On April 26, 2021, the parties filed a “Joint Stipulation for Extension of
21
Discovery Dates,” which the Court construes as a joint motion to enter their
22
stipulation. (See ECF No. 26.) In the joint motion, they explain that the parties are
23
unable to complete fact discovery by May 13, 2021 due to two primary factors: (1)
24
“federal law enforcement officials executed a search warrant on Defendant
25
Boucher’s office and seized his computer, cell phone, and documents,” which
26
remain in federal possession, and (2) Defendants’ counsel is experiencing vision
27
problems following a bicycle accident that interfere with his ability to review
28
1
documents. (Id. at 3.) Specifically, Defendants has not been able to respond to
2
written discovery needed for Plaintiff to depose Defendant Boucher as currently
3
scheduled on May 4, 2021. (Id.) The parties consequently agree and request that
4
the Court continue the fact discovery deadline from May 13, 2021, to September 6,
5
2021 (to coincide with the expert discovery deadline). (Id.; see also ECF No. 13 at
6
2-3.)
7
Based on the forgoing, the Court finds good cause and GRANTS the joint
8
motion. The fact discovery deadline is CONTINUED to September 6, 2021. All
9
other requirements and deadlines set forth in the December 17, 2020 Scheduling
10
Order Regulating Discovery and Other Pretrial Proceedings, (ECF No. 13), remain
11
unchanged by this order.
12
IT IS SO ORDERED.
