The Stipulated Motion to Modify Scheduling Order to Extend Discovery Deadline and Dispositive Motion Deadline [filed May 8, 2012; docket #17] is granted in part and denied in part. While the Court finds good cause to modify the Scheduling Order, the parties have not provided sufficient justification to extend the discovery and dispositive motion deadlines by over 70 days. Thus, the Court will modify the Scheduling Order as follows:
Discovery deadline: July 13, 2012
Dispositive motions deadline: August 3, 2012
In light of these modifications, the Final Pretrial Conference scheduled in this case for August 16, 2012, is hereby vacated and rescheduled to October 2, 2012, at 9:30 a.m. in Courtroom A501 on the fifth floor of the Alfred A. Arraj United States Courthouse, 901 19th Street, Denver, Colorado.
