ORDER
Before the Court are Target Corporation's Unopposed Motion for Extension of
the Trial Term Deadline (Doc. 22), filed on April 9, 2015, and Target Corporation's
Amended Unopposed Motion for Extension of the Trial Term Deadline (Doc. 23), filed
on April 10, 2015. Defendant’s Unopposed Motion for Extension requested that the
trial term be extended to February 1, 2015. Doc. 22. The amended motion corrects
this by requesting that the trial term be extended to February 1, 2016. Doc. 23.
Therefore, the Court will deny as moot Defendant’s Uncontested Motion for Extension

Unopposed Motion for Extension of the Trial Term Deadline (Doc. 23).

For the

reasons stated herein, Defendant’s Amended Unopposed Motion for Extension of the
Trial Term Deadline is granted.
This case is presently set for a trial term beginning December 1, 2015. Doc.
17 at 2. Due to the nature of Defendant’s business, several defense witnesses will
be unavailable during the December 1, 2015 trial term. Doc. 23 at 1. Defendant

requests that the term be extended to February 2016. Id. at 2. Plaintiff has no
objection to this request. Id. The Court finds good cause to extend the deadlines.

the Trial Term Deadline (Doc. 22) is DENIED as moot.
