Case No. 1:13-cv-00166-AWI-SKO

ORDER DENYING WITHOUT 

PREJUDICE PARTIES' REQUEST TO 

MODIFY THE SCHEDULING ORDER

On July 10, 2014, the parties appeared for a Settlement Conference. (Doc. 32.) A further 

settlement conference was set for October 28, 2014. (Doc. 32.) The dispositive motion filing 

deadline was September 2, 2014, and Defendant filed a motion for summary judgment on that 

date. (See Doc. 35.) The hearing on Defendant's motion for summary judgment has been 

continued to November 3, 2014. At the settlement conference, the Court continued the Pretrial 

Conference to December 15, 2014. The trial is currently set for February 3, 2015.

On August 14, 2014, the parties submitted a stipulation and request to modify the schedule. 

However, because the dates proposed were unworkable, the parties' request was denied without 

prejudice.

On September 3, 2014, the parties again submitted a request to modify the scheduling 

order. They seek to extend the discovery deadlines to save further litigation costs prior to the 

October 28, 2014, Settlement Conference. This is an understandable basis to seek modification of 

the schedule, and the Court is not opposed to adjusting the schedule for this reason. Nevertheless, 

the dates proposed by the parties cannot be accommodated. The parties request to continue the 

Pretrial Conference to January 15, 2015. However, the trial is set for February 3, 2015, and Judge 

Ishii's calendar cannot accommodate such a short period between the pretrial conference and the 

trial. If the parties wish to continue the discovery deadlines as requested, this may necessitate a 

continuance of the trial date. The parties may contact Courtroom Deputy, Alice Timken, at (559) 

499-5975, if they wish to set an informal telephonic conference to address their scheduling 

deadlines. 

For the reasons set forth above, the parties' stipulated request for a scheduling modification 

is DENIED without prejudice. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
