STIPULATED MOTION AND ORDER TO RESCHEDULE INITIAL CASE DEADLINES
The Honorable John H. Chun, U.S. District Court Judge
STIPULATED MOTION
The parties jointly move this court to reschedule deadlines for the Fed R. Civ. P. (“FRCP”) 26(f) Conference, Initial Disclosures, and Joint Status Report.
Plaintiff filed her complaint on December 6, 2022. Dkt. 1. Defendants City of Monroe and Paul Henderson filed a Notice of Appearance (Dkts. 3-5) and intend to file a FRCP 12 motion shortly. Defendants King County and Laura M. Alspach filed a 12(b)(6) Motion to Dismiss with a noting date of February 10, 2023. Dkt. 7. On January 19, 2023, the Court issued an Order with deadlines for the FRCP 26(f) Conference, Initial Disclosures, and Joint Status Report with a FRCP 26(f) Conference deadline for February 2, 2023. Dkt. 8. 1
Given that Defendants King County and Laura M. Alspach have filed a dispositive motion before the Court, and Defendants City of Monroe and Paul Henderson intend to file a dispositive motion, the parties have conferred and are in agreement to postpone discovery, including the FRCP 26(f) Conference, Initial Disclosures, and Joint Status Report until a date after the Court rules on the Defendants' motions.
Therefore, the parties seek an Order extending the start of discovery and continuing the FRCP 26(f) Conference, Initial Disclosures, and Joint Status Report to the following:
Event | Current Deadline | New Deadline |
FRCP 26(f) Conference | 2/2/2023 | 4/6/2023 |
Initial Disclosures Deadline | 2/16/2023 | 4/20/2023 |
Joint Status Report Deadline | 2/23/2023 | 4/27/2023 |
The parties agree that a further extension of these initial deadlines may be necessary if the Court has not had an opportunity to rule on the dispositive motions before the new proposed deadlines approach. 2
ORDER
THIS MATTER having come before the Court upon the parties' stipulation and request for a continuance of initial case deadlines; it is hereby
ORDERED that discovery be postponed and the initial case deadlines be changed as follows:
Event | Current Deadline | New Deadline |
FRCP 26(f) Conference | 2/2/2023 | 4/6/2023 |
Initial Disclosures Deadline | 2/16/2023 | 4/20/2023 |
Joint Status Report Deadline | 2/23/2023 | 4/27/2023 |
The parties may seek a further extension of these initial deadlines if the Court has not had an opportunity to rule on the dispositive motions before the new proposed deadlines approach.
ORDERED. 3
