UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DERRIK DIAMOND, an individual,

Plaintiff,

v.

WALMART INC., a corporation, and 

DOES 1 to 20, inclusive

Defendant.

Case No. 1:19-cv-00857-LJO-JLT

(PROPOSED) ORDER GRANTING JOINT 

STIPULATION TO MODIFY THE 

SCHEDULING ORDER 

About one month ago, the Court granted the stipulation of counsel (Doc. 23) to amend the 

case schedule for 30 days (Doc. 24. Once again, counsel are asking for an additional extension, 

this time for 90 days, for, in essence, the same reasons (Doc. 25). From their stipulation, it 

appears that counsel have had many discussions about completing needed discovery but have not 

actually completed much of this discovery. The Court does not understand what the impediments 

counsel are facing in, for example, scheduling the Arkansas deposition given they have been 

meeting and conferring about this deposition since December (Doc. 23). Thus, the Court 

ORDERS:

1. The stipulation is GRANTED, and the case schedule is amended as follows:

a. All non-expert discovery SHALL be completed no later than June 10, 

2020;

b. The parties SHALL disclose experts no later than May 20, 2020 and any 

rebuttal experts by June 10, 2020. They SHALL complete expert discovery no later than July 6, 

2020.

The Court does not contemplate that it will consider any further requests to amend the 

case schedule and will not consider any further requests that are not support by sufficient 

evidence that demonstrates extraordinarily good cause for the amendment. Such extraordinary 

good cause does not include settlement discussions or the busy schedules of counsel, the 

parties/deponents or the experts.1

IT IS SO ORDERED.
