UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SARAH VILLAVERDE, 

Plaintiff,

v.

LOUIS DEJOY, et al., 

Defendants.

1:22-cv-00888-JLT-SAB

ORDER GRANTING STIPULATED MOTION 

TO MODIFY SCHEDULING ORDER

(ECF No. 18)

Plaintiff initiated this action on July 28, 2022. (ECF No. 1.) A scheduling order for this 

matter issued on April 28, 2023. (ECF No. 17.) As relevant here, the deadline for non-expert 

discovery is currently set for March 22, 2024. (Id.) 

On February 27, 2024, the parties filed a joint stipulation to extend the non-expert 

discovery cutoff, which the Court construes as a stipulated motion to modify the scheduling 

order. (ECF No. 18.) The parties proffer lead counsel for Plaintiff resigned in September 2023 

and the firm had to re-assign the instant matter. (Id. at 2.) There is currently outstanding written 

discovery in this matter and depositions that have been noticed but not taken. (Id.) The parties 

expect the depositions to occur in late March or early April 2024. (Id.) The parties request to 

modify the non-expert discovery deadline by one month, from March 22, 2024 to April 22, 2024.

(Id.) The parties do not seek to modify any of the other deadlines set forth in the scheduling 

order. The Court finds good cause exists to grant the requested relief. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the parties’ stipulated motion to modify the 

scheduling order (ECF No. 17) is GRANTED and the scheduling order is modified as follows: 

1. The non-expert discovery deadline is extended to April 22, 2024; and 

2. All remaining deadlines set forth in the scheduling order, as modified, shall remain 

unaltered.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 29, 2024
