POLSKIE LINIE LOTNICZE LOT S.A., Plaintiff, v. THE BOEING COMPANY, Defendant.
ORDER GRANTING JOINT MOTION TO EXTEND REMAINING DEADLINES
RICARDO S. MARTINEZ, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
This matter comes before the Court on the parties' Joint Motion seeking to push out trial nine months, from October 15, 2024, to July 21, 2025. Dkt. #85. The Court is troubled by the length of the requested continuance, given that this case was filed in 2021 and has had significant delays in discovery. However, the parties have not made a similar request previously and it appears to otherwise be made in good faith. The Court, having reviewed the entire record, including the parties' supporting brief and submissions, finds that good cause is shown and hereby GRANTS the joint motion for the reasons set forth in said Motion. It is therefore ORDERED that the remaining deadlines in the Court's most recent Scheduling Order, Dkt. #84, shall be extended as set forth below:
| Event | Old Deadline | New Deadline |
| Jury Trial Date | October 15, 2024 | July 21, 2025 |
