CASE NO: 2:08-cv-01028-GEB-GGH P

ORDER REGARDING DEFENDANTS’

MOTION TO MODIFY THE DISCOVERY

AND SCHEDULING ORDER 

Pursuant to the March 16, 2011, discovery and scheduling order (Docket No. 50),

and the order of June 21, 2011 (Docket No. 63) that modified it, the deadline for

conducting discovery was July 15, 2011, and the deadline for filing dispositive motions is

October 10, 2011. On September 16, 2011, the defendant BRIMHALL made his first

appearance in this case by filing an answer to the plaintiff’s third amended complaint.

(Docket No. 86) The plaintiff is also continuing in his efforts to serve additional

defendants. The defendants have filed a motion requesting that the parties be permitted

to conduct discovery with respect to BRIMHALL and other newly-served and appearing

defendants. The defendants move that this new discovery period conclude ninety (90)

days following the appearance of the last-served defendant or the deadline for that

defendant to make an appearance. The motion also requests that the deadline for filing

dispositive motions be vacated and re-set for ninety (90) days following the close of this

new discovery period. Good cause appearing, the defendants’ motion is granted.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Parties may now conduct discovery with respect to BRIMHALL and other

newly-served and appearing defendants for a period concluding ninety (90) days following
