MICHAEL D. NELSON, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
This matter comes before the Court on the parties' Joint Motion to Extend Amended Case Progression Order (Filing No. 49). After review of the parties' motion, the Court finds good cause to grant the requested extensions. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the Joint Motion to Extend Amended Case Progression Order (Filing No. 49) is granted, and the amended case progression order is amended as follows:
1) The deposition deadline, including but not limited to depositions for oral testimony only under Rule 45, is July 10, 2024.
2) The deadline for completing written discovery under Rules 33, 34, 36, and 45 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is July 10, 2024. Motions to compel written discovery under Rules 33, 34, 36, and 45 must be filed by July 24, 2024.
Note: A motion to compel, to quash, or for a disputed protective order shall not be filed without first contacting the chambers of the undersigned magistrate judge on or before the motion to compel deadline to set a conference to discuss the parties' dispute, and after being granted leave to do so by the Court.
3) The planning conference set for June 14, 2024, is cancelled. The trial and pretrial conference will not be set at this time. A planning conference to discuss case progression, dispositive motions, the parties' interest in settlement, and the trial and pretrial conference settings will be held with the undersigned magistrate judge on July 12, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. by telephone. Counsel shall use the conferencing instructions assigned to this case to participate in the conference.

7) All requests for changes of deadlines or settings established herein shall be directed to the undersigned magistrate judge. Such requests will not be considered absent a showing of due diligence in the timely progression of this case and the recent development of circumstances, unanticipated prior to the filing of the motion, which require that additional time be allowed.
