The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable
Thomas S. Zilly, United States District Judge:

12

(1)
The parties’ stipulated motion to extend discovery deadlines, docket no. 19,
is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. As indicated in the Minute Order Setting
Trial Date and Related Dates, docket no. 13, failure to complete discovery within the
time allowed is not recognized as good cause for altering the case schedule. Parties may
agree to pursue settlement discussions and delay conducting discovery, but they should
not expect the Court to continue discovery deadlines solely for that reason. The parties
have proposed to extend the deadline for completing discovery until after dispositive
motions must be filed. Such request is denied. Instead, the Court EXTENDS the
deadline for completing discovery to August 4, 2017. Any motions related to discovery
shall be filed by June 29, 2017. All other dates and deadlines set forth in the Minute
Order Setting Trial Date and Related Dates, docket no. 13, shall remain in full force and
effect.
