WO

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

David Lake, 

Plaintiff,

v.

City of Phoenix, et al.,

Defendants.

No. CV06-3031-PHX-SMM

ORDER

Before the Court is the parties’ stipulation to extend discovery and dispositive motion

deadline (Dkt. 44). The parties seek to extend the discovery deadline from February 15,

2008 to March 28, 2008, and the dispositive motion deadline from March 14, 2008 to April

25, 2008. The parties assert that this extension is necessary in order to allow sufficient time

to complete depositions. Additionally, defense counsel has a trial in a separate matter

beginning February 12, 2008.

Although the Court appreciates counsels’ obligations in other matters, last minute

requests are not well received by the Court. Counsel was aware of the upcoming trial date

months before the scheduling order in this case. Furthermore, the Court granted the parties’

second request to extend time for disclosing expert witnesses “with the explicit notation that

no other dates [were] to be affected by [that] extension” (Dkt. 33, Order dated Oct. 17, 2007).

 Despite the lateness of the request, the Court will grant this one last extension.
