STIP/ORDER to Extend Case Deadlines

2:14-CV-01623 TLN KJN 3 EEOC v. DIALYSIS CLINIC, INC.

Plaintiff Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and Defendant Dialysis 

Clinic, Inc. (DCI), hereby jointly request that the Court extend the case deadlines set out in the 

court’s Pretrial Scheduling Order dated December 5, 2014 [Docket No. 11.] and Order to Extend 

Discovery Deadlines dated January 9, 2015. [Docket No 16.] The parties have made one prior 

request to extend solely the discovery cut-off deadlines.

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(b)(1) allows the court "for cause shown" and "in its 

discretion" to grant a "request" for an extension of time. Good cause exists to extend the case 

deadlines. The court has granted one prior request to continue the discovery deadlines in this case in 

order to facilitate a mediation that was scheduled for February 27, 2015. Unfortunately, the 

mediation was cancelled due to a late discovered conflict; the mediator withdrew from the case on 

February 13, 2015. [Docket No. 17.] In the month that followed, the parties made numerous 

attempts to find an available mediator. A new mediator was appointed on March 25, 2015. 

In order to preserve the time and resources, the parties agreed that written discovery and 

several depositions would be postponed pending the outcome of the mediation. Because of the 

delays in finding a mediator, the parties request that the deadlines in this case be extended so that the 

parties may continue the hold on discovery until mediation and so that, should the mediation be 

unsuccessful, the parties will have sufficient time to complete discovery. 

The parties request that the case deadlines be extended as follows:

Fact Discovery Deadline: August 10, 2015

Expert Designation Deadline: September 14, 2015

Dispositive Motions Deadline: December 10, 2015

Final Pretrial Conference: March 10, 2016 at 2:00 p.m.
