Case No. 2:17-cv-01089-JAD-GWF
ORDER

13
14

This matter is before the Court on Defendant’s Motion to Extend Deadlines for Discovery and

15

Designating Expert Witnesses (ECF No. 78), filed on January 3, 2018. Plaintiff filed his Opposition

16

(ECF No. 80) on January 11, 2018 and Defendant filed her Reply (ECF No. 81) on January 16, 2018.

17

Defendant requests a four month extension of discovery to resolve discovery disputes between

18

the parties, to conduct depositions, to conduct further written discovery, and to designate expert

19

witnesses. Plaintiff argues that Defendant did not show that he failed to request an extension because

20

of excusable neglect. He further argues that an extension of discovery would be prejudicial to him

21

because he spent time and expense complying with the discovery plan and scheduling order. The

22

Court finds that a ninety (90) day extension of the discovery deadlines is warranted. Accordingly,

23

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant’s Motion to Extend Deadlines for Discovery
