AMENDED SCHEDULING

ORDER

This matter is the time set for an informal Rule 16 scheduling conference.

Plaintiff is represented by counsel, Rebecca L. Covell. Defendants are represented by

counsel, Veronica L. Manolio. Court reporter is not present.

All parties have expressly consented in writing to magistrate judge jurisdiction

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636 (c) and Rule 73, Fed.R.Civ.P., with the approval of United States

District Judge Susan R. Bolton. (docket # 12)

Informal discussions are held regarding an early settlement conference before this

or another magistrate judge, the Court’s preference for early depositions of key parties in an

effort to make any early settlement conference more meaningful, and the initial Rule 16

Scheduling Order (docket # 13) issued by the formerly-assigned trial judge. Counsel confirm

that both sides have complied with FED.R.CIV.P. 26(a)’s initial disclosures as ordered.

Counsel stipulate and agree to the amendment of the caption as set forth herein and to the

following modifications to the initial Rule 16 Scheduling Order.

Pursuant to stipulation and good cause appearing,

IT IS ORDERED vacating in their entirety paragraphs N, P, and R in the initial

Rule 16 Scheduling Order (docket # 13) subject to resetting the dates for filing motions in

limine, the final Pretrial Order and Conference and jury trial in 2008. The Court hereby

modifies the dates only of paragraph F’s discovery deadline to January 15, 2008, paragraph

G’s supplementation of all discovery to November 30, 2007, and paragraph L's dispositive

motion deadline to February 29, 2008. The trial date of May 13, 2008 is also vacated. All

further orders set forth in the initial Rule 16 Scheduling Order are hereby AFFIRMED.

Stipulations extending the time for the doing of any act required by the Court or

the Rules of Civil Procedure will be treated as a joint motion subject to Court approval.

LRCiv. 7.3; Gestetner Corp. v. Case Equipment Company, 108 F.R.D. 138 (D. Maine

1985)(good cause not shown to amend scheduling order); Janicki Logging Co. v. Mateer,

42 F.3d 561, 566 (9th Cir.1994)("Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16 is to be taken

seriously"). These deadlines are real. The parties are advised that the Court intends to

enforce the deadlines set forth in this and the original Scheduling Order. Counsel should plan

their litigation activities accordingly. Hostnut.Com, Inc.v. Go Daddy Software, Inc., 2006

WL 2573201 *1 (D. Ariz. 2006). Continuances of these deadlines may be granted only upon

a showing of good cause and by leave of the assigned trial judge. Settlement negotiations,

however, do not constitute good cause.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that each side is limited to only one motion for

summary judgment unless express prior leave of the Court is granted for good cause shown.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that counsel and any party, if unrepresented, shall

hereinafter comply with the Rules of Practice for the United States District Court for the

District of Arizona, as amended on December 1, 2006, and the Standards of Professional

Conduct. The District’s Local Rules and Standards may be found on the District Court’s
