[Docket No. 30]

DANIEL BOGDEN, et al.,
Defendant(s).
Pending before the Court is a stipulation to extend certain deadlines. Docket No. 30.

16 Although a close question, the Court finds sufficient cause for the particular extension sought with
17 respect to experts, and will GRANT the stipulation. Nonetheless, the stipulation raises concern
18 that discovery has not been conducted in a diligent manner generally speaking. Discovery has
19 been open for nearly five months. See Docket No. 30 at 2 (Rule 26(f) conference held on March
20 21, 2018); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(d)(1). Despite acknowledging that “Plaintiff needs to
21 propound written discovery and take numerous depositions,” the stipulation identifies no
22 affirmative discovery of any kind sought by Plaintiff to date. See Docket No. 30 at 2. Discovery
23 needs to get moving.
24

Accordingly, in light of the above, the stipulation is hereby GRANTED and deadlines are

25 SET as follows:
26



Amend pleadings/ add parties: Closed

27



Plaintiff’s initial experts: September 5, 2018



Defendant Core Civic’s initial experts: October 22, 2018
