UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On February 23, 2015, the Court granted Counterclaimants’ motion to file a second amended 

counterclaim. (Doc. 48) The counterclaim named Peerless Insurance Company as an additional 

crossdefendant and Peerless answered on April 6, 2015. (Doc. 53) In light of the appearance of this 

new party, the case schedule previously ordered would not allow sufficient opportunity for discovery 

by Peerless. On April 27, 2015, the parties filed a joint status conference report setting forth proposed 

dates for the amended schedule. (Doc. 55) After having considered the joint statement, the Court 

ORDERS:

1. The case schedule1(Doc. 25) is amended as follows:

a. Non-expert discovery SHALL be completed no later than December 18, 2015

and expert discovery SHALL be completed no later than February 5, 2016;

 

1 Except for changes in the deadlines, the case schedule, issued on May 19, 2014, remains in effect and the parties and 

counsel, including the newly added Defendant Peerless and its attorneys, are ORDERED to comply with the instructions 

and requirements set forth in that order. (Doc. 25)

Dated: April 28, 2015 /s/ Jennifer L. Thurston 

UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

 

2 The date proposed by the parties—January 12, 2016—would not allow for disputes related to experts to be heard. Thus, 

the Court selects a date after the close of expert discovery so that any issues related to experts may be resolved before the 

time for filing dispositive motions. Likewise, the dates suggested for dispositive motions, the pretrial conference and the 

trial do not allow sufficient time for the Court to decide motions, etc., and, therefore, could not be selected.
