ASSIGNED TO:

THE HON. WILLIAM B. SHUBB

JOINT REQUEST TO MODIFY SCHEDULING 

ORDER AND ORDER

SUIT FILED: MARCH 11, 2021

Pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 16(b)(4), Plaintiff Infinity Energy, Inc. 

(“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Infinite Energy Home Services, Inc. (“Defendant”) (collectively, the 

“Parties”) jointly request the court modify the Pretrial Scheduling Order, issued on June 23, 

2022.

The court has the authority to modify the pretrial Scheduling Order for good cause. (FRCP 

Rule 16(b)(4)).

The Parties herein have diligently pursued their discovery obligations as well as 

settlement discussions, however, given the complexity of issues raised in the litigation, the

discovery necessary to prepare for trial, and various scheduling issues, the Parties herein require 

additional time to complete a small number of outstanding discovery items. The Parties require 

an extension of the discovery cut-off date to complete certain depositions which have either yet 

to be completed due to scheduling obstacles or are of witnesses who have only recently been 

identified during PMQ depositions. Given the complexity of the issues raised, the numerous 

individuals identified for deposition, and the extent of written discovery, the Parties believe it is 

in the best interests of both sides to modify the Court’s pretrial Scheduling Order, and to 

continue the trial itself. 

The Parties have met and conferred and have identified the remaining depositions to be 

completed including Plaintiff’s PMQ, Cory Gilbert, Defendant’s PMQ, Rich Walton, Plaintiff’s and 

Defendant’s disclosed experts, and the brief conclusion of the deposition of Plaintiff’s PMQ, 

Wesley Armstrong. The parties have completed written discovery.

As such, the Parties respectfully request that the Court modify the May 23, 2022 

Scheduling Order as follows:

1. The depositions of Plaintiff’s PMQ, Cory Gilbert, Defendant’s PMQ, Rich Walton, 

Plaintiff’s and Defendant’s disclosed experts, and the brief conclusion of Plaintiff’s 

PMQ, Wesley Armstrong, shall be conducted as to be completed by December 31, 

2022. All other discovery is closed.

2. All motions, except for motions for continuances, temporary restraining orders, 

or other emergency orders, shall be filed on or before February 28, 2023.

3. The Final Pretrial Conference shall be April 30, 2023, or as soon thereafter as the 

Court’s schedule shall allow.

4. The trial shall commence on July 1, 2023, at 9:00 a.m., or as soon thereafter as 

the Court’s schedule shall allow.

The Parties request that all other dates included in the June 23, 2022, Scheduling Order 

shall remain in effect.
