ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KRISTEN L. MIX
This matter is before the Court on the parties’ Joint Motion to Amend the Second
Amended Scheduling Order (Doc. 104) and Reschedule the Trial Preparation
Conference [#123]1 (the “Motion”). In the Motion, the parties ask the Court to (1) reset the
Final Pretrial Conference/Trial Preparation Conference from January 27, 2014 to “sometime
during the week of March 24 or March 31, 2014" and (2) extend the discovery deadline
from January 27, 2014 to February 28, 2014. The parties do not address the January 10,
2014 dispositive motions deadline.
While the parties may not anticipate needing to adjust the dispositive motions
deadline, the Court reminds the parties that, as it explained in its June 4, 2013 Minute
Order, “[t]he Court will not enter a Scheduling Order that includes a Dispositive Motions
Deadline that will result in dispositive motions being fully briefed less than 60 days prior to
the start of trial.” Minute Order [#99] at 1. Accordingly, while the Court will grant the relief
requested in the Motion, the parties are advised that should they file a motion requesting
an adjustment of the dispositive motions deadline, they should expect adjustment of the
trial dates.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion [#123] is GRANTED. The Second
Amended Scheduling Order entered on June 11, 2013 [#103] is amended to extend the
