No. CIV 05-2874-PHX-MHM

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

TO THE HONORABLE MARY H. MURGUIA, U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE:

Pursuant to the Court’s September 21, 2007 Order referring discovery matters to a

magistrate judge, the undersigned has conducted four discovery conferences and addressed a

number of pending discovery issues. The undersigned has previously been of the view, and has

communicated to counsel the view, that all discovery must be completed by the existing

February 1, 2008 deadline.

During a November 14, 2007 discovery conference, the participating parties informed

the Court that they had reached a stipulation requesting a schedule for final expert disclosures

that would require that expert depositions be completed by April 15, 2008. The stipulation

(which has now been joined by all parties) proposes a forty-three day extension of the

dispositive motion deadline. The existing dispositive motion deadline is March 3, 2008 and the

proposed new dispositive motion deadline would be April 15, 2008. In light of the parties’

progress on resolving the pending discovery issues and in consideration of the remaining tasks,

the undersigned believes that the requested extension is supported by good cause. This

conclusion reflects the undersigned’s knowledge that the parties appreciate that no further

extensions of case management milestones will be recommended.

Accordingly, IT IS RECOMMENDED that upon the filing of the joint stipulation the

Court enter the proposed Amended Rule 16 Scheduling Order.

DATED this 15th day of November, 2007.
