STIP/ORDER to Extend Discovery Deadlines 

2:14-CV-01623 TLN KJN 3 EEOC v. DIALYSIS CLINIC, INC. 

Plaintiff Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and Defendant Dialysis 

Clinic, Inc. (DCI), hereby jointly request that the Court extend the March 16, 2015 discovery cut off 

deadline and the May 14, 2015 expert disclosure deadline set out in the court’s Pretrial Scheduling 

Order dated December 5, 2014. [Docket No 11.] The parties have made no prior requests to extend 

case deadlines. 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(b)(1) allows the court "for cause shown" and "in its 

discretion" to grant a "request" for an extension of time. Good cause exists to extend the discovery 

cut off deadline. The parties received VDRP mediator referrals two weeks ago. Due to the 

availability of counsel and the selected mediator, a mediation could not be scheduled until February 

27, 2015. In order to preserve the time and resources of the parties, several depositions will be 

delayed until the week after the mediation. If the requested extension is not granted and the 

mediation is unsuccessful, the parties will not have sufficient time to complete any follow-up 

discovery. Granting the requested extension will not affect any other deadlines in this case. 

 Upon the foregoing, the parties respectfully request that the Court continue the above 

referenced dates as follows: 

 Discovery cut off deadline: May 15, 2015

 Expert Discovery Disclosure Deadline: June 12, 2015
