Plaintiff Martha Hernandez and Defendant Foam Fabricators, Inc., through their respective 

counsel, respectfully request the Court modify its pretrial scheduling order (ECF No. 14) to extend 

the discovery and expert witness disclosure deadlines. Good cause exists to extend such the 

discovery and expert witness disclosure deadlines.

1. The Parties request the Court extend the deadline for all discovery to August 2, 

2016 and expert witness disclosure to October 2, 2016. The current deadlines are May 2, 2016 and 

July 7, 2016, respectively. 

2. Plaintiff’s counsel will be leaving the country from April 15, 2016 to April 23, 

2016. In addition, plaintiff’s counsel has back to back trials scheduled for May 17, 2016 and June 

14, 2016 anticipated to last one week and three weeks, respectively. 

3. The Parties are also interested in attempting early resolution of the matter.

4. Extending the discovery and expert witness disclosure deadlines will give the 

Parties ample time to participate in early resolution of the matter and to complete discovery if 

resolution does not occur. 

5. Due to scheduling conflicts the Parties have not been able to engage settlement 

discussions.

6. In addition, due to scheduling conflicts the Parties have not been able to complete 

any depositions in the case, discovery has been delayed and the Parties need additional time to 

complete all the discovery and depositions necessary for trial. 

7. Continuing the discovery and expert witness disclosure dates will not affect any of 

the other dates in the Court’s pretrial Scheduling Order and will not affect the trial date.

8. This is the Parties’ first request to modify the Scheduling Order.
