IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Magistrate Judge Kathleen M. Tafoya
Civil Action No. 13–cv–00360–LTB–KMT

VENKATA CHEMITI, and
NEERAJA DASARI,
Plaintiffs,
v.
NEHRU KAJA,
Defendant.

MINUTE ORDER
ORDER ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KATHLEEN M. TAFOYA
Plaintiffs’ “Unopposed Motion to Modify the Scheduling Order and Extend the Discovery Cutoff
to December 5, 2014 and the Dispositive Motions Deadline [sic] December 19, 2014” (Doc. No.
53, filed Oct. 14, 2014) is DENIED. The grounds proffered by Plaintiffs to support modifying
the Scheduling Order are nearly identical to the grounds that supported Plaintiffs’ prior Motion
to Modify the Scheduling Order—namely, that Plaintiffs had returned to India to attend to
Plaintiff Chemiti’s ailing father. (Compare Doc No. 53 at 3 with Doc. No. 50 at 3.) In their
prior Motion to Modify the Scheduling Order, Plaintiffs represented that their depositions would
be rescheduled for October 10, 2014, after they returned from India at the end of September
2014. Plaintiffs have failed to provide any additional information to explain why their
depositions were not held on October 10, 2014 as scheduled. Accordingly, the court finds that
Plaintiffs have failed to show good cause for an additional modification of the Scheduling Order.
