STATES OF AMERICA,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:16-cv-01540-ADA-HBK (PC)

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO MODIFY

AND SCHEDULING ORDER

(Doc. No. 122)

Pending before the Court is the parties stipulated motion to further modify the case 

management deadlines filed on November 2, 2022. (Doc. No. 122). Due to various lockdowns 

caused by the Covid-19 pandemic the parties explain they have limited ability to depose Plaintiff. 

Further, Plaintiff has noticed a Rule 30(b)(6) deposition for Defendants. The Court, although 

reluctant to delay this case, will permit one final amendment to the remaining deadlines. In lieu 

of a mid-discovery conference, the Court will set this case for a final status conference prior to 

the deadline to file dispositive motions. 

Accordingly, it is ORDERED: 

1. The parties’ stipulated motion to further amend the case management deadlines 

(Doc. No. 122) is GRANTED to the extent set forth herein.

2. Any hearings/deadlines are VACATED and will be CONTINUED to the amended
