IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THERANOS, INC.,

Plaintiff,

 v.

BECTON DICKINSON AND

COMPANY,

Defendant. /

No. C 14-04880 WHA

ORDER DENYING STIPULATED

REQUEST FOR EXTENSION

The parties have filed a joint stipulation seeking extensions of six to eight weeks on all

deadlines in this case. The reasons offered are that the parties were delayed in conducting

discovery because they could not agree on a protective order, their early mediation efforts were

delayed in part by the selected mediator’s medical issues, and plaintiff brought on a new general

counsel. None of these is persuasive. The scheduling order in this case gave the parties more

time for discovery than they asked for in their joint case management statement, and in

particular, it is their own fault they wasted time on protective order disputes. Accordingly, the

parties’ request for an extension is DENIED. All deadlines remain in place.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 2, 2015. WILLIAM ALSUP
