ORDER

THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE COURT on the parties’ “Joint Motion To Modify
Case Management Order” (Document No. 27) filed May 9, 2024. This motion has been referred
to the undersigned Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), and immediate review is
appropriate. Having carefully considered the motion and the record, and following consultation
with Judge Whitney’s chamber, the undersigned will deny the motion.
The parties are respectfully reminded that the Case Management Order includes the
following direction: “the Court preauthorizes the parties to stipulate to the taking of discovery
beyond the discovery completion deadline provided that any such extension expires not later than
fourteen (14) calendar days prior to the scheduled trial term and a joint stipulation memorializing
the extension is filed on the record.” (Document No. 21, p. 2). However, “[s]tipulated extensions
of the deadline for completion of all discovery will not alter the dates and deadlines for filing,
briefing, and hearing dispositive motions, nor do they provide grounds for a continuance of a trial
setting.” Id. at n. 1.

IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the parties’ “Joint Motion To Modify Case
Management Order” (Document No. 27) is DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
Signed: May 9, 2024
