UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA – FRESNO DIVISION

TODD BENNETT,

Plaintiff,

v.

SMITHKLINE BEECHAM

CORPORATION,

Defendant.

 /

CASE NO. 1:09-cv-00879-LJO-SKO

ORDER ON STIPULATION TO

EXTEND DISCOVERY AND

MOTION DEADLINES

(Docket No. 24)

On July 23, 2010, the parties filed a stipulation requesting that the Court modify the existing

scheduling order in this matter. Although the parties recite that the proposed extended deadlines do

not impact the pre-trial conference date or the trial date, this is not the case. The dates the parties

propose do not allow adequate time between the dispositive motion filing deadline, the hearing on

any dispositive motion filed, and the pre-trial conference and trial. Because all proposed deadlines

are contingent upon other prior deadlines, there is nothing in the newly proposed schedule that the

Court can accommodate. The type of request that can be considered is one that preserves the filing

and hearing dates for all matters set before the Court and provides adequate time for the Court to

consider the matters before it. The Court will consider a renewed request if the parties modify their

stipulation accordingly. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the parties' stipulated request for an

extension of discovery and motion deadlines is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
