The Court, having received and reviewed the Stipulated Motion and [Proposed] Order for
Extension of Deadlines (Dkt. No. 94), enters the following ruling:
IT IS ORDERED that the motion is DENIED.
The Court notes that there are no deadlines which require adjustment between now and
the settlement conference date of October 26. Negotiation schedules do not trump trial
schedules; rather, the opposite is true. Case schedules are established with the understanding that
counsel will always keep costs in mind and may decide to negotiate at any time.

ORDER ON STIPULATION RE: EXTENSION OF
DEADLINES- 1

1

The Court must set hundreds of schedules and accommodate hundreds of litigants. Once

2 a date for trial has been selected, it is only moved for good cause. Failing to negotiate prior to
3 making the expenditures necessary for discovery is not good cause.
