Case No. 2:17-cv-01606-JAD-CWH

v.
PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES,
LLC, et al.,
Defendants.

9
Presently before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion to extend discovery (ECF No. 43), filed on

10
11

March 16, 2018. Defendant filed a response (ECF No. 45) on March 27, 2018. Plaintiff has not

12

filed a reply.
Plaintiff moves for an extension of discovery, which originally closed on March 19, 2018.

13
14

Plaintiff requests that this deadline be extended by 30 days, to April 18, 2018. In its response,

15

Defendants argue that Plaintiff has not been diligent in conducting discovery and has not shown

16

good cause for an extension. Nevertheless, Defendants do not oppose the motion.
Under Local Rule 26-4, a request to extend a scheduled deadline made within 21 days of

17
18

the subject deadline must be supported by a showing of good cause. A request made after the

19

expiration of the subject deadline will not be granted unless the movant also demonstrates that the

20

failure to act was the result of excusable neglect. Plaintiff’s request was made three days before

21

the subject deadline, and must therefore be supported by a showing of good cause. Plaintiff

22

argues that it has been unable to complete all necessary depositions due to conflicting schedules

23

of the parties involved. The Court finds good cause for a modest extension of the discovery

24

period.
