3. Given the pending motions, coupled with the parties’ ongoing efforts to 

narrow or wholly resolve those motions, discovery cannot be completed prior to the 

March 16 deadline. 

4. The parties thus stipulate to enlarge the period for non-expert discovery 

until May 1, 2010. 

5. The stipulated enlargement of time will not impact the remaining 

deadlines in the Second Amended Scheduling Conference Order, which are:

ORDER 

 The Court has reviewed the parties’ request to extend the non-expert discovery 

deadline in this case. It is unclear from the stipulation if the extension request relates 

only to the disputed items in the pending motions to compel or if it relates to other 

discovery as well. The Court is not opposed to extending the discovery deadlines to 

give the parties the opportunity to complete the disputed discovery, but it will not 

adopt the extension request of the non-expert discovery dates at this time since there 

have already been numerous requests for extensions. 

The Court will extend the non-expert discovery deadlines as part of the order it 

issues on the motions to compel. Any other extension requests will be addressed at the 

hearing on March 26, 2010. If the parties are able to resolve the discovery disputes prior 

to the hearing, another stipulation to extend the non-expert discovery deadline shall be 

submitted that outlines a new date and the specific discovery that needs to be 

completed. 

 

Dated: March 15, 2010. IT IS SO ORDERED:
