BLOCK MINING, INC.,

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.
