ORDER
WILKERSON, Magistrate Judge:
On August 10, 2016, this Court granted an agreed motion for extension of time, setting the
dispositive motion filing deadline to November 29, 2016 (Doc. 69). In so doing, the Court noted
that the deadline would not be moved absent extraordinary circumstances. A day after the
deadline, Defendants sought a 30 day extension of time. By way of an excuse, Defendants state
that their depositions were taken in early November, they are awaiting written discovery from
Plaintiff, and Defense counsel’s workload prevents the filing of a motion by the deadline.
Such excuses do not show either the excusable neglect required by Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 6(b)(1)(B) nor the extraordinary circumstances required by this Court’s previous order.
However, in light on the recent move in trial date, the dispositive motion filing deadline is
extended to December 23, 2016.

No further extensions will be granted.

The Motion is

accordingly GRANTED IN PART (Doc. 73).
DATED: December 12, 2016

DONALD G. WILKERSON
United States Magistrate Judge
