Case No. 2:12-cv-01604-GMN-GWF
ORDER
Motion to Modify Scheduling
Order (#21)

12
13

This matter comes before the Court on Defendant Allied World Assurance Co.’s

14

(“Defendant”) Motion to Modify the Scheduling Order (#21), filed on January 17, 2013. Defendant

15

represents that although it previously stipulated to a standard discovery schedule, see Doc. # 18,

16

further consideration of the case’s complexity indicates a longer discovery period is needed.

17

Defendant also represents certain evaluative efforts at East-coast offices were delayed due to Super-

18

storm Sandy. Defendant therefore seeks a 90-day extension of the deadlines set forth in the

19

Scheduling Order (#19). Defendant makes no representations it attempted to meet and confer with

20

Plaintiffs regarding the desired extensions. The Parties have successfully agreed to extend certain

21

discovery deadlines in the past. See Doc. #22. Additional attempts to meet and confer regarding

22

the extensions sought in the instant Motion are appropriate. Accordingly,

23

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant’s Motion to Modify the Scheduling Order

24

(#21) is denied without prejudice.

25

...

1

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Parties shall meet and confer regarding the desired

2

discovery deadlines and submit a joint proposed amended scheduling order no later than February

3

4, 2013. In the event the Parties are unable to agree, Defendant may then re-file a motion to modify

4

the Scheduling Order.

5

DATED this 23rd day of January, 2013.
