Counsel are strongly urged to complete the discovery within the deadlines set forth above.

The Court cannot now envision a situation in which it would be amenable to any further 

modifications.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 29, 2015 /s/ Jennifer L. Thurston 

UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

 

1 The Court recognizes, and presumes counsel does as well, that dispositive motions must be filed within the 

deadlines set forth in the original case schedule and the parties’ inability to use the expert discovery to support or 

oppose a dispositive motion may be hindered by the amended schedule set forth here. The need to complete expert 

discovery SHALL NOT be grounds for any extensions of time related to dispositive motions or any other dates in 

the case schedule.
