Filing 31

STIPULATION AND ORDER to Extend Discovery Motion Deadline re parties' 30 Stipulated Motion; deadline for discovery-related motions is extended to 6/21/2018, signed by Judge Thomas S. Zilly. (SWT)

Honorable Thomas S. Zilly

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON AT SEATTLE
Civil Action No. 17-cv-894TSZ

EKO BRANDS, LLC,
Plaintiff,
v.

STIPULATED MOTION AND ORDER TO
EXTEND DISCOVERY MOTION
DEADLINE

ADRIAN RIVERA MAYNEZ
ENTERPRISES, INC.; and
ADRIAN RIVERA, an individual,
Defendants.
Plaintiff Eko Brands, LLC (“Eko”) and Defendants Adrian Rivera Maynez Enterprises,
Inc. and Adrian Rivera (together “ARM”) respectfully request that this Court extend the deadline
for filing motions related to discovery from June 7, 2018 to June 21, 2018. (See Trial Schedule,
Dkt. 23)
Good cause exists for this modification. On April 18, 2018, Eko served discovery requests
upon ARM, including requests for the production of documents. On May 18, 2018, ARM served
responses and objections to the requests, but without any of the requested documents. The parties
are presently in trial in the Western District of Washington in the matter of Eko Brands, LLC
v. Adrian Rivera Maynez Enterprises, Inc. and Adrian Rivera, No. C15-522-JPD. Allowing a brief
extension to this deadline would allow ARM to serve the requested documents promptly after the
currently pending trial. In turn, that extension of time would also allow Eko to avoid filing an

immediate motion to compel the production of the documents, while preserving the opportunity to
file such a motion within the extended time in the event it becomes necessary. The parties submit
that the present request is in the interest of judicial economy in that it will hopefully avoid the need
for a discovery-related motion.
The parties therefore request that the Court extend the deadline for discovery-related
motions from June 7 to June 21. This extension will not affect other deadlines in this case, and all
other deadlines would remain the same.
