ORDER OUTLINING STANDARDS
APPLICABLE TO FUTURE
REQUESTS FOR DISCOVERY
EXTENSIONS FILED IN THIS CASE
Concurrently herewith, the Court is granting the parties’ stipulation to extend discovery
17
deadlines, which they filed at Docket No. 43. That order grants the parties’ request to extend, inter
18
alia, an expert discovery deadline that has already past. The Court grants that request as complying
19
with the standards outlined in the prior scheduling order for seeking extensions. See Docket No. 23
20
at 3. The Court issues this separate order setting the standards for requested extensions filed in this
21
case in the future. In particular, the standard outlined in Docket No. 23 is inconsistent with Local
22
Rule 26-4. Accordingly, any previous orders entered in this case inconsistent with the standards
23
enunciated herein, are hereby VACATED to the extent they are inconsistent. The standards
24
enunciated below govern all future requests for extension filed in this matter.
25
All future requests for extensions must strictly comply with the currently-operative version
26
of Local Rule 26-4. “All motions or stipulations to extend a deadline set forth in a discovery plan
27
shall be received no later than twenty-one (21) days before expiration of the subject deadline.”
28
Local Rule 26-4 (emphasis added). Any motion or stipulation filed before 21 days prior to the
1
expiration of the subject deadline must be supported by a showing of good cause. Id. Any motion
2
or stipulation filed less than 21 days prior to the expiration of the subject deadline (or after the
3
subject deadline has expired) must be supported by a showing of excusable neglect. Id.
4
IT IS SO ORDERED.
