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 ... 27 ... 28 ... 1 IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion to Continue Trial (#294) is denied. 2 DATED this 14th day of March, 2016. 3 4 5 ______________________________________ GEORGE FOLEY, JR.
