Case No. 2:15-cv-00345-APG-NJK
ORDER

16

Pending before the Court is the parties’ stipulation to extend the discovery deadline. Docket

17

No. 19. That stipulation was filed on September 29, 2015, and the deadline for which the extension

18

is sought expires on October 14, 2015. See id. As the scheduling order itself makes clear, “all

19

motions or stipulations to extend a deadline set forth in [the] discovery plan shall be received by the

20

Court no later than twenty-one (21) days before the expiration of the subject deadline.” Docket No.

21

17 at 4 (citing Local Rule 26-4).

22

When parties fail to timely request an extension of the deadlines subject to their request, they

23

must establish excusable neglect for the extension sought. See, e.g., Local Rule 26-4. The pending

24

stipulation was filed less than twenty-one days before expiration of the discovery deadline, and the

25

parties failed to establish – or even address – either good cause or excusable neglect for that

26

shortcoming. See Local Rule 26-4.

27
28

1

Accordingly, the stipulation is hereby DENIED without prejudice.

2

IT IS SO ORDERED.
