IT IS HEREBY STIUPLATED AND AGREED between the parties that some of the
Case 2:16-cv-01563-JAD-NJK Document 78 Filed 08/23/17 Page 2 of 3
1
discovery dates be continued by adding approximately 30 days to the discovery schedule. The
2
stipulation would change the close of discovery from August 28, 2017 to September 27, 2017.
3
The primary purpose of this extension is to allow an additional 30 days to conduct additional
4
depositions and review recently produced voluminous records.

Legal Authority
After the court has set a scheduling order, it may be changed upon a showing of good
cause. LR 26-4. Good cause is shown for the discovery extension based upon the Parties’
discovery progress, including extensive efforts at setting a workable deposition schedule in
different states. Id.; see also Johnson v. Mammoth Recreations, Inc., 975 F.3d 604, 608-09 (9th
Cir. 1992). The good cause inquiry focuses primarily on the movant’s diligence. See Coleman v.
Quaker Oats Co., 232 F.3d 1271, 1294-95 (9th Cir. 2000). Good cause to extend a discovery
deadline exists “if it cannot reasonably be met despite the diligence of the party seeking the
extension.” Johnson, 975 F.2d at 609. The Court has broad discretion in supervising the pretrial
phase of litigation. Zivkovic v. S. Cal. Edison Co., 302 F.3d 1080, 1087 (9th Cir. 2002).

The Parties entered into this Stipulation in an effort to complete discovery. Good cause is
22
shown for the discovery extension based upon the Parties’ discovery progress, including
23
extensive efforts at setting a workable deposition schedule in different states to accommodate
24
many conflicting calendars that must be reconciled to get additional deposition testimony. To the
25
extent that this request is untimely, excusable neglect is shown by the Parties’ diligence in
26
resolving their discovery issues and disagreements without contested motion practice.
No
27
prejudice is done to any party because the Parties agree to this discovery extension. The parties
