This matter is before the Court on a stipulation for modification of the case schedule.

15

Dkt. #10. The parties were previously granted a two-month continuance to address COVID-

16

related delays. Dkt. #9. The parties now indicate that their prior request may have been overly

17

optimistic, as additional time is needed to complete discovery, and request a one-month extension

18

of the discovery and dispositive motion deadlines. Dkt. #10 at 1–2. The parties specifically do

19

not request that the trial date be continued. Id.

20

The Court finds good cause to alter the case schedule. However, the Court will not

21

continue the dispositive motions deadline without altering the trial date. Doing so may leave the

22

Court with insufficient time to consider case dispositive motions in advance of trial preparation.

23

Accordingly, the Court GRANTS IN PART the stipulated motion to amend the case

24

schedule (Dkt. #10) and STRIKES the trial date and the unexpired deadlines of the existing case
ORDER – 1
