PARKER SMITH & FEEK INC,

CASE NO. C17-637-MJP

Defendant.

16

THIS MATTER comes before the Court on the Parties’ Stipulated Motion for Extension

17

of Time for Trial & Pre-Trial Schedule. (Dkt. No. 16.) This case was filed on April 21, 2017.

18

(Dkt. No. 1.) The Parties initially requested a trial beginning in July 2018. (Dkt. No. 7 at 5.)

19

The Parties now claim that a continuance of the trial and pre-trial dates and deadlines is needed

20

because “discovery . . . is proving to be extensive” and counsel have “encountered some

21

expected and unexpected scheduling conflicts, which have unfortunately slowed progress in this

22

case.” (Dkt. No. 16 at 1-2.) However, the Parties do not explain what remains to be done and

On this record, the Court DENIES the Motion.

The clerk is ordered to provide copies of this order to all counsel.
