Defendant(s).

Case No. 2:13-cv-00618-JCM-NJK

ORDER RE: EXTENSIONS OF
DEADLINES

16

Court is granting in amended form. The Court issues this order separately because the parties

17

continue to misstate Local Rule 26-4, which governs requests to extend deadlines established in the

18

discovery plan. “All motions or stipulations to extend a deadline set forth in a discovery plan shall

19

be received no later than twenty-one (21) days before expiration of the subject deadline.” Local

20

Rule 26-4 (emphasis added). By way of example, a request to extend the deadline for initial expert

21

disclosures must be filed 21 days before that deadline is set to expire. A request to extend the

22

deadline for initial expert disclosures filed only 21 days before the discovery cutoff would be

23

untimely. The Court expects the parties to comply with Local Rule 26-4 for any request to extend

24

any of the deadlines established in the discovery plan.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
