No. 3:14-CV-565-DCP

ORDER
This case is before the undersigned pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), Rule 73(b) of the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and the consent of the parties, for all further proceedings,
including entry of judgment [Doc. 15].
Now before the Court is a Joint Motion to Continue Trial and Reschedule Discovery and
Corresponding Deadlines [Doc. 65]. For grounds, the parties explain that they are currently
engaging in good-faith efforts to resolve this matter. The parties request that the Court reschedule
the trial to a date that is convenient for the Court and that the corresponding discovery and other
deadlines be recalculated to the new trial date.
The Court has considered the parties’ request and finds good cause to continue the trial in
this matter. Accordingly, the Joint Motion to Continue Trial and Reschedule Discovery and
Corresponding Deadlines [Doc. 65] is GRANTED. The trial in this matter SHALL be continued
to August 28, 2018. The parties SHALL appear before the Court on August 21, 2018, at 1:30
p.m., for a pretrial conference.

All unexpired deadlines, as of the date of the parties’ Motion,

shall be recalculated to the new trial date. Finally, the Court observes that this case was filed in

2014, and the parties have requested multiple trial continuances and deadline extensions that
affected the trial date. See [Docs. 22, 46, 57]. The Court ADMONISHES the parties that it will
not grant another trial extension, absent extraordinary circumstances.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
