ORDER

Having reviewed the stipulation, the parties are cautioned that the mere agreement of counsel 

to an extension is not good cause for modification of a scheduling order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 

16(b). Here, the parties have not explained why they require additional time to complete the 

discovery which they contend may impact amendment of the pleadings. See Johnson v. Mammoth 

Recreations, Inc., 975 F.2d 604, 609 (9th Cir. 1992) (“[Good cause] primarily considers the 

diligence of the party seeking the amendment.”). Nonetheless, based upon the parties’ consent to 

the extension and in the interest of justice, the Court finds that a limited continuance as requested 

is warranted. 

Accordingly, pursuant to the stipulation of the parties, the Court GRANTS the request to 

modify the Scheduling Order. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the deadline for amendment of the 

pleadings is extended to March 27, 2020. All other deadlines set forth in the Scheduling Order 

remain unchanged. The parties are advised that no further extensions or modifications of the 

deadlines in this case will be granted absent a demonstrated showing of good cause. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
