ORDER
Honorable Brian A. Tsuchida United States Magistrate Judge
I. REQUEST TO AMEND SCHEDULING ORDER FOR DISCOVERY
Because of unexpected delays in the ESI discovery process, as well as the introduction of several new issues by virtue of the recent amendments to Docklight's complaint and Defendants' affirmative defenses and counterclaims, the parties require additional time to complete fact and expert discovery. To that end, the parties request that the Scheduling Order (Dkt. 146) be amended as indicated on the table below, to permit an additional sixty (60) days for discovery, while keeping the same deadlines and dates for dispositive briefing and for trial, currently scheduled for February 2024. This is the parties' second request to amend the Scheduling Order. As indicated, the parties wish to stipulate to specific deadlines for fact discovery and expert depositions.
