SYLVESTER OWINO, JONATHAN GOMEZ, on behalf of themselves, and all other similarly situated, Plaintiffs, v. CORECIVIC, INC., a Maryland corporation, Defendant. AND RELATED CROSS ACTION
ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT'S SECOND MOTION TO EXTEND ESI DEADLINES
[ECF No. 228]
Hon. Nita L. Stormes United States Magistrate Judge
Before the Court is Defendant's motion to extend the current ESI deadlines. ECF No. 226. On July 30, 2021, the Court set certain deadlines relating to production of ESI at Defendant's California facilities. ECF No. 225. On August 23, 2021, the Court granted Defendant's first motion to extend these deadlines by 30 days. ECF No. 227. Defendant now moves to extend these deadlines by another 30 days due to the volume of the ESI hits and counsel's schedule in other matters. ECF No. 228 at 3. Defendant states that Plaintiffs do not object to the request, provided that it agrees to continue the biweekly productions previously ordered. Id.
Good cause appearing, the Court GRANTS the motion. The deadlines previously set in the Court's August 23 Order are modified as follows:
1. Production of ADO-level ESI for Otay Mesa Detention Center (“OMDC”) and San Diego Correctional Facility (“SDCF”) shall be completed by November 1, 2021 (with interim rolling productions every two weeks ).

3. Production of an affidavit from a knowledgeable corporate representative regarding the sufficiency of ESI from ADO-level custodians at facilities housing 25, 000+ detainees during the relevant time period shall be provided by November 1, 2021 .
4. The parties will submit a Joint Status Report comparing the ADO-level ESI to the all-custodians ESI for OMDC and SDCF by January 5, 2022 .
5. The Court will hold a discovery conference to discuss the Joint Status Report and further discovery in light of the partial stay on January 12, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. The Conference will be held via Zoom.
