Case No. 1:13-cv-01553-LJO-GSA

STIPULATION TO CONTINUE

NON-EXPERT DISCOVERY DEADLINE;

ORDER

(ECF No. 38)

Plaintiff Felipe S. Quinones (“Plaintiff”), and Defendant Megan J. Brennan, Postmaster 

General (“Defendant”), (collectively “the parties”), stipulate, by and through the undersigned 

counsel, to extend the non-expert discovery deadline. The dates for filing motions, the pre-trial 

conference, and the trial date are not affected by this stipulation.

The parties agree to a short extension of the date by which to complete non-expert discovery 

in this case from September 30, 2015 to December 1, 2015, the same day on which expert discovery 

is to be completed. The parties submit that this request is being made for good cause as the parties 

attempted to resolve the matter at a settlement conference on August 26, 2015, which attempt was 

unsuccessful. The parties are seeking to phase discovery to conserve time and resources during this 

brief extension of the non-expert discovery deadline. Accordingly, the parties stipulate and agree to 

continue the non-expert discovery deadline, and base it on the above-stated good cause.

ORDER

After a review of the above stipulation and the procedural posture of the case, and good 

cause appearing therein, the non-expert discovery deadline is continued to December 1, 2015. The 

Court notes that the non-dispositive motion deadline is currently set for December 14, 2015. 

Compliance with this deadline and the newly set non-expert discovery deadline will require 

discovery motions to be filed and heard sufficiently in advance of the specified deadlines so that the 

Court may grant effective relief within the allotted discovery time. A party's failure to have a 

discovery dispute heard sufficiently in advance of the discovery cutoff may result in denial of the 

motion as untimely.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 8, 2015 /s/ Gary S. Austin
