UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

VINCENT GRANO, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

SODEXO, MANAGEMENT INC., et al., 

Defendants. 

Case No.: 18cv1818-GPC(BLM) 

ORDER GRANTING IN PART JOINT 

MOTION TO EXTEND DEADLINE FOR 

PLAINTIFFS TO AMEND AND/OR ADD 

CLAIMS 

[ECF No. 143] 

 

 On December 2, 2019, the parties filed a Joint Motion to Amend Scheduling Order. See 

ECF No. 51. On December 20, 2019, the Court entered an order granting in part the parties’ 

motion. ECF No. 61. In that order, the Court reset the parties’ deadline to file a motion to 

amend to February 21, 2020 and April 16, 2020. Id. at 2. The February 21, 2020 deadline was 

the deadline to file a motion to amend the parties and the April 16, 2020 deadline was the 

deadline to file a motion to amend the claims or causes of action. Id. at 2 nn.3-4. 

 On March 26, 2020, the Court held a telephonic discovery hearing. ECF No. 99. During 

the hearing, the Court and counsel discussed the issues raised in the parties’ Joint Hearing 

Statement [see ECF No. 89] and also discussed Plaintiffs’ April motion to amend deadline. 

Plaintiffs’ counsel expressed concern that they would be unable to meet the April deadline 

because of the difficulty they were having completing the necessary depositions. In response, 

Judge Major directed the parties to schedule the remaining depositions that were needed to 

prepare the motion and to then file a joint motion to continue the deadline to a date after the 

depositions.

 On June 3, 2020, the parties filed a Joint Motion to Extend Deadline for Plaintiffs to Amend 

and/or Add Claims. ECF No. 143. The parties state that they “have now scheduled and/or 

taken all depositions necessary for Plaintiffs to prepare and file their motion for leave to 

amend, and jointly move the Court for an order extending the deadline for the filing of said 

motion to July 27, 2020.” Id. at 2. The parties do not provide any justification for the requested 

filing deadline. Id.

Accordingly, the parties’ motion is GRANTED IN PART. Plaintiffs must file any motion 

for leave to amend and/or add claims against the parties on or before July 6, 2020.

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: 6/4/2020
