UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GRANGE INSURANCE ASSOCIATION,

Plaintiffs,

v.

GULZAR SRAN, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:15-cv-00526-SAB

ORDER RE PROPOSED AMENDED 

ORDER EXTENDING DISCOVERY 

DEADLINES AND STIPULATION FOR 

EXTENSION OF DISCOVERY 

DEADLINES

(ECF Nos. 54, 56) 

On May 19, 2016, an order issued granting the parties’ joint stipulation to extend 

discovery deadlines in this action. (ECF No. 53.) On June 29, 2016, the parties filed a 

stipulation to extend the discovery deadlines as well as the deadline for filing motions for 

summary judgment. (ECF No. 54.) On June 30, 2016, the Court issued an order regarding the 

parties’ June 29, 2016 stipulation, but the order did not set forth any new deadlines. (ECF No. 

55.) On July 5, 2016, the parties filed a proposed amended order granting the joint stipulation to 

extend discovery deadlines. (ECF No. 56.) 

The Court will extend the deadlines for non-expert discovery including motions, filing 

non-dispositive motions, disclosing expert witnesses, disclosing supplemental experts, and expert 

discovery in accordance with the parties’ stipulation. However, the Court finds that the deadline 

for filing dispositive motions shall be extended until November 2, 2016. In filing a dispositive 

motion, the parties must comply with Local Rule 230, which provides that the matter shall be set 

for hearing on the motion calendar of the Magistrate Judge to whom the action has been assigned 

not less than twenty-eight (28) days after service and filing of the motion. The pre-trial

conference is scheduled for December 16, 2016. The Court needs sufficient time to decide any 

dispositive motions before the pre-trial conference so that the parties can file their joint pretrial 

statement. Therefore, the Court finds that the parties shall schedule the hearing on any 

dispositive motions for no later than November 30, 2016. 

The parties ask the Court to extend the deadline to disclose expert testimony to January 

12, 2016. It appears that the parties request an extension of this deadline to January 12, 2017. 

However, the Court denies this request without prejudice absent further good cause shown. The 

deadline for disclosing expert testimony is presently November 28, 2016. Trial is scheduled for 

January 24, 2017, and an extension of the deadline to disclose expert testimony to January 12, 

2017, may impact the filing of motions in limine, which will be due prior to January 12, 2017. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the deadlines in the May 19, 2016 order

are amended as follows:

Non-Expert Discovery including motions: August 15, 2016

Non-Dispositive Motion Filing Date: August 15, 2016

Expert Disclosure: August 29, 2016

Supplemental Expert Disclosure: September 15, 2016

Expert Discovery: October 6, 2016

Dispositive Motion Filing Deadline: November 2, 2016

Last day for Dispositive Motion Hearing: November 30, 2016

The pre-trial conference shall remain on December 16, 2016, and trial shall remain set for 

January 24, 2017.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
