ORDER GRANTING JOINT MOTION STIPULATING TO CONTINUE THE DEADLINE TO FILE A JOINT MOTION FOR ENTRY OF A PROTECTIVE ORDER [ECF NO. 19]
HONORABLE MICHAEL S. BERG UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On September 2, 2021, the parties filed a “Joint Motion Stipulating to Continue the Deadline to File a Joint Motion for Entry of a Protective Order.” (ECF No. 19.) In the joint motion, the parties ask the Court to continue the deadline to file a joint motion for entry of a protective order from September 2, 2021, to September 9, 2021, based solely on the parties' agreement. (Id. at 2.)
The Court first notes that the parties have not even attempted in their joint motion to demonstrate the good cause required by the Court's scheduling order to continue the deadline at-issue. (See ECF No. 18 at 3 (“The dates and times set forth herein will not be modified except for good cause shown.”).) The parties' showing here is insufficient. However, because it does not appear that a short continuance of the deadline to file a joint motion for entry of a protective order is likely to impact any other dates in the scheduling order, the Court GRANTS the joint request in the interest efficiency and judicial economy. The deadline to file a joint motion for entry of a protective order is CONTINUED to September 9, 2021 .
IT IS SO ORDERED.
