Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 18-2144-KHV

KIEWIT ENERGY GROUP, INC., et al.,
Defendants.

AMENDED SCHEDULING ORDER
Pursuant to the court’s directive at the February 11, 2019 status conference (see ECF
No. 28), the parties have filed a joint motion (ECF No. 33) to amend the scheduling order
filed on September 4, 2018 (ECF No. 17). For good cause shown, the motion is granted
and the scheduling order is amended as follows:1
a.

Plaintiff’s motion to compel regarding defendants’ initial responses to

plaintiff’s discovery requests is due by April 12, 2019.
b.

All discovery shall be commenced or served in time to be completed by July

26, 2019. But discovery on ESI issues, which the parties agree shall be completed before
plaintiff’s deposition, must be commenced or served in time to be completed by May 1,
2019.
The court has modified the dates proposed by the parties to account for the court’s
preference that pretrial orders are entered prior to the deadline for dispositive motions.
