1 2 3 4 5 6 7 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON AT SEATTLE 8 9 10 BLOCK MINING, INC., 11 v. 12 13 Plaintiff, CASE NO. C24-0319JLR ORDER HOSTING SOURCE, LLC, Defendant. 14 15 Before the court is the parties’ second stipulated motion to continue the trial date 16 in this case. (Mot. (Dkt. # 61).) The court has considered the parties’ submissions, the 17 relevant portions of the record, and the governing law. Being fully advised, the court 18 GRANTS the parties’ motion to continue the trial date. 19 Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b)(4), the trial schedule “may only 20 be modified for good cause and with the judge’s consent.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4). For 21 purposes of Rule 16, the “good cause” standard requires the parties to demonstrate that 22 “noncompliance with a Rule 16 deadline occurred or will occur, notwithstanding [the ORDER - 1 1 parties’] diligent efforts to comply, because of the development of matters which could 2 not have been reasonably foreseen or anticipated at the time of the Rule 16 scheduling 3 conference[.]” Scarlett v. Doe, C19-1418JLR, 2020 WL 13517858, at *1 (July 20, 2020). 4 Furthermore, the court’s scheduling order states that the dates are “firm” and that “[t]he 5 court will alter these dates only upon good cause shown[.]” (6/27/24 Order (Dkt. # 49).) 6 The parties submit that “good cause” exists for the requested continuance because 7 they “require additional time to complete discovery and prepare for trial” in light of the 8 additional motions practice that occurred over the summer, and “a number of discovery- 9 related issues requiring conferral toward resolution . . . have arisen since entry of the 10 current scheduling order.” (Mot. at 1-2.) The court concludes that the parties have 11 demonstrated good cause to continue the trial date. 12 For the above reasons, the court GRANTS the parties’ motion to continue the trial 13 date. The court DIRECTS the Clerk to continue the trial date to February 2, 2026 and to 14 reset all other deadlines that have not yet passed in accordance with this order. 15 Dated this 22nd day of November, 2024.
