UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICHARD A. BRISTOW, for

himself and a class of 

others similarly situated,

NO. CIV. S-06-1947 LKK/GGH

Plaintiff,

v.

LYCOMING ENGINES, a O R D E R

Division of Avco Corporation;

AVCO CORPORATION,

Defendants.

 /

The court is in receipt of the plaintiffs’ request for relief

from case management deadlines and the defendant’s opposition to

same. 

The court finds good cause to extend the case management

deadlines in this case. The plaintiffs’ discovery in this case has

been coordinated with the discovery occurring in factually-related

cases that are pending in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. See

Stipulation and Order Regarding Discovery, September 20, 2007

(Docket No. 113). The plaintiffs have shown that discovery in the

Pennsylvania cases has been unforeseeably delayed, which has

impeded their efforts to complete discovery in this case in a

timely fashion. This meets the standard for “good cause” for

modification of the scheduling order. See Johnson v. Mammoth

Recreations, Inc., 975 F.2d 604, 609 (9th Cir. 1992). 

Therefore the plaintiffs’ motion is GRANTED. Discovery shall

be conducted so as to be completed by March 14, 2008. Motions to

compel discovery must be noticed so as to be heard no later than

February 14, 2008. All law and motion shall be conducted so as to

be completed not later than April 4, 2008. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: October 10, 2007.
