ORDER

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ROGELIO SANCHEZ, 

Plaintiff,

vs.

SPECTRUM BRANDS, INC.; HOME 

DEPOT U.S.A., INC.; and DOES 1 to 

10, inclusive,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:20-cv-00365-DAD-BAM

ORDER RE STIPULATION TO 

CONTINUE DISCOVERY 

DEADLINES 

On July 13, 2021, the parties filed a stipulation to extend the discovery and 

pretrial dates and deadlines in the Scheduling Conference Order by approximately 

60 days. (Doc. 30.) The parties agree that good cause exists to modify the deadlines 

due to events since the Court’s entry of the Order Continuing Discovery and Pretrial 

Deadlines (Doc. 28), including defense counsel’s difficulties in completing discovery 

in light of his trial calendar and his clients’ return to work after the COVID-19 

pandemic. No party reportedly will be prejudiced by the granting of the requested 

60-day continuance of the discovery and pretrial deadlines. The parties propose 

modification of the deadlines for non-expert discovery, expert disclosure, 

supplemental expert disclosure, expert discovery and pretrial motions, while keeping 

the March 21, 2022 pretrial conference date. (Id.)

ORDER

Having considered the parties’ stipulation, and cause appearing, the request 

to modify the discovery deadlines is GRANTED. The Scheduling Conference Order is 

MODIFIED as follows:

Non-expert Discovery Cut-off: October 4, 2021

Expert Disclosure: November 8, 2021

Supplemental Expert Disclosure: December 20, 2021

Expert Discovery Cutoff: February 7, 2022

Pretrial Motion Filing Deadline: March 21, 2022

The parties’ proposal to retain the existing Pretrial Conference date is not 

compatible with the modified discovery and pretrial dates. Further, the date has 

recently been designated as a federal holiday. Accordingly, the Scheduling 

Conference Order is further MODIFIED as follows:

 Pretrial Conference: August 29, 2022

 1:30 p.m.

 Courtroom 5 (DAD)

IT IS SO ORDERED.
