ORDER

This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion to Continue Trial (#294), filed on
March 3, 2016. Defendant Hansen filed a Response (#299) on March 11, 2016.
15
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b)(4) provides that a scheduling order “may be modified
16
only for good cause and with the judge’s consent.” Plaintiff requests the Court reset the trial date
17
to accommodate Plaintiff’s co-lead trial counsel, Todd Moody, Esq. Plaintiff represents that Mr.
18
Moody “has been asked to serve as Chief of Staff for the Office of Philanthropy with the Boy
19
Scouts of America, overseeing and assisting with the dedication of the Boy Scouts of America’s
20
national leadership complex at The Summit (National Jamboree site) in West Virginia from June
21
10-18, 2016.” Motion, pg. 2, ln. 1-4. Defendant Hansen represents that he prefers the trial to
22
proceed as currently scheduled. However, if the Court was inclined to modify the trial date,
23
Defendant Hansen would prefer a date in September 2016. Thus, Plaintiff’s request would require
24
the Court to continue trial for an additional three (3) months. The Court finds that Plaintiff’s
25
reason for the continuance is not sufficient good cause to justify continuing the trial. Accordingly,
26
...

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion to Continue Trial (#294) is denied.

DATED this 14th day of March, 2016.
