ANGEL LEON,

v.

accommodate the Court’s calendar as well as the availability of judges to decide this case, and in

ORDERED that the Scheduling Order in this action is modified as follows:

Including Deadline for

Reports for Retained Experts

Dept 5 (DAD)

Jury Trial: March 30, 2021

(10-12 days est.) 8:30 a.m.

Dept 5 (DAD)

The Court notes that this is the parties’ second stipulation to modify the Scheduling Order 

with respect to the deadlines for completion of non-expert discovery and expert discovery. (Doc. 

Nos. 18, 20.) Further, the parties’ stipulation was filed after the deadlines for expert disclosure 

and supplemental expert disclosure had lapsed. (See Doc. Nos. 13, 20.) The Local Rules require 

counsel to seek to obtain a necessary extension from the Court as soon as the need for the 

extension becomes apparent. L.R. 144(d). Any future requests for Court-approved extensions 

brought on or after the applicable deadline will be looked upon with disfavor. Id. The parties are 

additionally cautioned that further modifications of the Scheduling Order will not be granted 

absent a demonstrated showing of good cause. Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b). Good cause may consist of 

the inability to comply with court orders in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Any such future 

difficulties should be explained. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
