ORDER DENYING STIPULATED
MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF
DEADLINES

Defendant.

15

This matter comes before the Court on the parties’ Stipulated Motion to extend the

16 discovery and dispositive motions deadlines in this matter. Dkt. #18. The discovery motions
17 deadline passed on May 18, 2018, the discovery cutoff was June 18, 2018, and the current
18 dispositive motions deadline is July 17, 2018. Dkt. #15. Trial is scheduled for October 15,
19 2018. Id. The parties now ask to “reset” the discovery motion deadline to August 31, 2018, the
20 discovery cut off to August 31, 2018, and the dispositive motion deadline to September 14,
21 2018. Dkt. #18. The parties ask that the trial date remain the same.
22

Although there may be good cause for resetting these deadlines, the Court will deny the

23 Motion as proposed. The newly-sought dispositive motions deadline does not provide the

Court with enough time to address dispositive motions prior to the trial date. Furthermore, the
Court’s existing schedule separates the close of discovery and the dispositive motion deadline
by 30 days in order to permit discovery issues to be resolved before the filing of dispositive
motions; the parties’ proposed dates do not allow for this.
Having reviewed the relevant briefing and the remainder of the record, the Court hereby
finds and ORDERS that the parties’ Stipulated Motion (Dkt. #18) is DENIED. The current
deadlines remain in place. Nothing in this Order precludes the parties from seeking the above
relief in addition to an extension of the trial date.
DATED this 12th day of July 2018.
