LAWRENCE E. GOMES, Plaintiff, v. DAVID M. MATHIS, et al., Defendants.
ORDER VACATING SCHEDULING DEADLINES
DENNIS M. COTA UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Before the Court is Defendant's unopposed motion to vacate the remaining scheduling deadlines or, in the alternative, for a 120-day extension of the deadlines. The motion is made on the grounds that Plaintiff died on August 4, 2021 (ECF No. 69), and the time for his successor or representative to substitute in to this lawsuit, as required under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 25(a)(1), has not yet passed. Good cause appearing, Defendant's motion is GRANTED.
The deadlines for disclosing expert witnesses, completing expert discovery, and filing dispositive motions are VACATED. The Court will set new deadlines, if needed, after Plaintiffs successor or representative appears in the case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
