UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME OF CLOSE OF DISCOVERY
(Fourth Request)
(Fifth Request)
The United States of America (“United States”) respectfully requests an extension of time of

22

sixty (60) days to September 29, 2014, for the deadline for the close of discovery in order to allow the

23

parties to engage in settlement discussions regarding the remaining issue in this case.

24

In support of the instant Motion, the United States submits the following:

25

1.

26

This Motion is brought in order to accommodate the undersigned counsel for the United

States and the parties’ efforts to settle all remaining issues in this case.

2.

On April 11, 2014, the current Scheduling Order was granted by the Court (ECF #49)

2

setting revised discovery deadlines. Since that time, the parties discussed and settled the issues of

3

liability and causation in this Federal Tort Claims Act case.

On July 10, 2014, the parties filed a stipulation with regard to liability and causation

(ECF #54). On July 11, 2014, the Court granted the parties’ stipulation (ECF #55).
4.

The parties will now engage in settlement discussions to settle the remaining issue of

damages. Should the parties come to an agreement, it would bring this matter to a full resolution.
5.

Undersigned counsel and Plaintiff’s counsel have agreed a sixty (60) day extension of

time is needed, postponing the deadline for the close of discovery until September 29, 2014. Should

10

the parties fail to reach a settlement, the Government intends to conduct a very limited amount of

11

damages related discovery.

WHEREFORE, for the above reasons, the United States respectfully requests the instant Motion

The instant motion is filed in good faith and not for the purposes of delay.
