Case No. 2:17-cv-01588-RFB-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 51)

16

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion to extend the discovery cutoff by 45 days. Docket

17

No. 51. Defendant filed a response in opposition. Docket No. 53. Good cause exists for an extension

18

to complete depositions. At the same time, depositions are routinely scheduled with ten-days’ notice

19

or less. See, e.g., Reddy v. Precyse Solutions LLC, 2015 WL 2081429, at *3 (E.D. Cal. May 4, 2015)

20

(“courts generally find that one week to ten days’ notice is reasonable” (collecting cases)). Insufficient

21

justification has been provided for a 45-day extension. Accordingly, the motion is GRANTED in part

22

and DENIED in part. The discovery cutoff is EXTENDED to March 6, 2018 only with respect to the

23

identified depositions. The deadlines for dispositive motions and the joint proposed pretrial report

24

remain unchanged.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
