Case No.: 1:06-CV-00287-OWW-SMS

JOINT REQUEST, AND ORDER, TO

RESET PRE-TRIAL MOTION

SCHEDULE;

ORDER

REQUEST

The parties in this case, acting through their respective counsel, jointly request that the

time by which all non-dispositive pre-trial motions, including any discovery motions, and all

dispositive pre-trial motions be extended. Specifically, the parties request that the Court order

that all non-dispositive pre-trial motions, including any discovery motions, will be filed on or

before August 12, 2007, and be heard on the September 14, 2007 at 9:00 a.m. before Magistrate

Judge Sandra M. Snyder in Courtroom 7. The parties further request that all dispositive pre-trial

motions will be filed no later than August 27, 2007 and will be heard on September 24, 2007, at

10:00 a.m. before the Honorable Oliver W. Wanger, United States District Judge, in Courtroom

3, Seventh Floor. 

The reasons for this request follow.

As stated in this Court’s May 21, 2007 Order extending the discovery cut-off date and

resetting the Mandatory Settlement Conference date, while the parties have, in good faith,

engaged in extensive oral and written discovery, such discovery cut-off dates were required to be

extended to July 30, 2007. Accordingly, the parties now request that the corresponding dates to

file dispositive and non-dispositive pre-trial motions should be extended in light of the discovery

date extensions.
