ORDER GRANTING IN PART JOINT MOTION TO EXTEND DEADLINES
THIS MATTER is before the Court on the parties’ Second Stipulated Motion to
Extend Case Management Deadlines (the “Motion”), (Doc. 92), filed March 30, 2021. The

Court previously extended discovery deadlines by three months due to the parties’
difficulty scheduling fact witness depositions, and the resultant delays in exchanging expert
reports. See (Doc. 65); (Doc. 67).
In the instant Motion, the parties explain that while certain key depositions have now
been completed, due to ongoing scheduling issues between all parties and counsel, “the
parties are unable to schedule and depose all expert[s] before the April 28, 2021 deadline
for completion of discovery.” (Doc. 92 at 2). As a result, the parties request to modify the
dates and deadlines set forth in the Court’s prior Order Granting Joint Motion to Extend
Deadlines, (Doc. 67). The Court, having reviewed the Motion and noting it was filed jointly,
finds the Motion is well-taken and shall be GRANTED IN PART.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the existing deadlines shall be modified as
follows:
1. The deadline for completion of discovery shall be extended to May 28, 2021;
2. The deadline for discovery motions shall be extended to June 16, 2021;
3. The deadline for other pretrial motions shall be extended to July 1, 2021;
4. The deadline for the plaintiff’s pretrial order shall be extended to August 16, 2021;
5. The deadline for the defendants’ pretrial order shall be extended to August 30,
2021.
All other deadlines remain in effect unless amended by further order of the Court.
No further extensions shall be granted.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

THE HONORABLE CARMEN E. GARZA
CHIEF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
