IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Civil Action No. 14-cv-02960-MSK-MJW
ALBERT BENJAMIN HILL,
Plaintiff(s),
v.
CORRECTIONS CORPORATION OF AMERICA,
LOUIS CHARLES CABILING, M.D.,
LYNNE M. THOMPSON, N.P., and
FREDERICK STEINBERG, M.D.,
Defendant(s).
MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Magistrate Judge Michael J. Watanabe
It is hereby ORDERED that the plaintiff’s Unopposed Motion to Modify
Scheduling Order (Docket No. 45) is granted in part and denied in part.
The court notes that the Trial Preparation Order-Civil entered by Chief Judge
Krieger on April 13, 2015 (Docket No. 41), provides that “[a] request to extend the
dispositive motion deadline more than 30 days beyond the deadline originally set in the
initial Scheduling Order must show exceptional circumstances warranting the
extension.” (Docket No. 41 at 2) (emphasis added). Here, plaintiff has not shown the
requisite exceptional circumstances to warrant extending the dispositive motion
deadline from December 15, 2015, to February 15, 2016. Accordingly, the Scheduling
Order (Docket No. 40) is only amended as follows. The expert disclosure deadline is
now November 13, 2015. The rebuttal expert disclosure is now December 14, 2015.
The discovery cut-off is now January 4, 2016. The dispositive deadline is now
January 15, 2016.
