Case No. 2:14-cv-00999-RCJ-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 29)

15

Pending before the Court is a stipulation to extend various deadlines, Docket No. 29, which is

16

hereby DENIED without prejudice. The pending stipulation seeks to extend the interim status report

17

deadline, the initial expert disclosure deadline and the rebuttal expert disclosure deadline, the current

18

deadlines for which have already expired. See Docket No. 29. Requests to extend discovery deadlines

19

must be filed at least 21 days before the subject deadlines sought to be extended. See Local Rule 26-4.

20

For requests to extend deadlines filed after that time period–or, even worse, after the deadline has

21

already expired–the party or parties seeking the extension must make a showing of excusable neglect.

22

See Local Rule 26-4; see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(1)(B). A showing of excusable neglect has not been

23

made, so the pending stipulation is DENIED without prejudice.

24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
