MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
FORT MYERS DIVISION
LEE MEMORIAL HEALTH SYSTEM,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No: 2:16-cv-738-FtM-29CM

BLUE CROSS AND BLUE
SHIELD OF FLORIDA, INC. and
WINN DIXIE STORES, INC.,
Defendants.
ORDER
This matter comes before the Court upon review of the Joint Motion to Extend
Case Management and Scheduling Deadlines (Doc. 55) filed on February 8, 2018.
The parties had until February 8, 2018 to file discovery motions, if any, and March 6,
2018 to file any Motions for Judgment on the Record.

Doc. 42.

The parties seek to

extend the discovery deadline to April 30, 2018, the deadline to file discovery motions
to May 14, 2018 and the deadline to file Motions for Judgment on the Record to June
4, 2018.

Doc. 55 at 2.

The Court finds good cause to grant in part the requested

extensions, except the parties must file any discovery motions on or before the
discovery deadline. The Court further reminds the parties that they must seek relief
immediately and not wait until discovery is almost due, if any discovery disputes
arises.

The Court will not further extend the discovery deadline unless the party

moving for an extension shows the lack of diligence in pursuing discovery did not
necessitate an extension of the discovery deadline.

ACCORDINGLY, it is hereby
ORDERED:
1.

The Joint Motion to Extend Case Management and Scheduling Deadlines

(Doc. 55) is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part.
2.

The parties shall have up to and including April 30, 2018 to complete

discovery and file discovery motions, if any.
3.

The parties shall have up to and including June 4, 2018 to file Motions

for Judgment on the Record.
DONE and ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida on this 13th day of February,
2018.
