DEPUTY CLERK:

KATIE LYNN OGDEN REPORTER: NONE APPEARING

MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS:
Before the court is Defendants’ Motion to Stay Summary Judgment Briefing. (Doc. # 53.)
Defendants have filed a motion to consolidate the Johnson v. Cox case with Johnson v. Nguyen, case
no: 3:12-cv-00538-MMD-WGC in the first filed case (3:12-cv-00538-MMD-WGC, Doc. # 98).
Defendants state the two cases concern the same Plaintiff, similar Defendants and common questions
of fact. No opposition to that motion was filed. Defendants seek a stay of summary judgment
briefing in the instant case pending a decision on the motion to consolidate the two cases. The docket
in 3:12-cv-00538-MMD-WGC reflects the deadline for filing dispositive motions is August 19,
2015.
Rather than staying the deadlines in this case, the court instead finds good cause to delay the
deadline for filing dispositive motions in the instant case. Therefore, the deadline for filing
dispositive motions is EXTENDED to and including August 19, 2015, which coincides with the
deadline for filing dispositive motions in the 3:12-cv-00538 case.
Defendants’ motion (Doc. # 53) is DENIED AS MOOT.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
LANCE S. WILSON, CLERK
