MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS:
On June 20, 2013, this court issued a scheduling order setting the discovery deadline as
September 18, 2013 (#16). Plaintiff has filed a myriad of discovery motions and requests for
extensions of time (#s 17, 29, & 40). The court granted plaintiff an extraordinarily generous
amount of time to February 19, 2014 to complete discovery (a total discovery period of 244
days). Dispositive motions are due on March 3, 2014.
Plaintiff has now filed additional discovery motions and requests for extensions of time.
Each motion will be addressed in turn.
#56 Plaintiff’s motion to compel discovery
Plaintiff filed a motion to compel discovery (#56), defendants responded (#59), and
plaintiff filed a supplement (#61). Plaintiff filed this motion before the discovery in question
was due from defendants. Defendants served the responses to discovery on February 14, 2014
(#59). Therefore, plaintiff’s motion to compel discovery (#56) is DENIED as moot and for
failure to confer with opposing counsel concerning discovery disputes as required by Local Rule
26-7(b).
#57 Plaintiff’s motion for enlargement of time to extend discovery
Plaintiff’s motion for enlargement of time to extend discovery (#57) is DENIED. As
stated above, plaintiff has been granted an almost unprecedented amount of time to complete
discovery in this case. Discovery is now concluded and will not be reopened.

#58 Plaintiff’s motion to show cause
Plaintiff’s motion to show cause (#58) why defendants should not be sanctioned is
without merit and is DENIED.
#60 Plaintiff’s motion for extension of time to file dispositive motions
Despite the fact that multiple extensions of the dispositive motion deadline have already
been granted, the court will GRANT this motion in part by allowing the parties one final brief
extension of time to Monday, March 10, 2014 to file dispositive motions. Absolutely, no
further extensions of time will be granted under any circumstance.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
