Case No. 2:11-cv-00681-RCJ-GWF.

ORDER Emergency Motion to Extend Discovery Deadlines (#18)
This matter comes before the Court on Impex's Emergency Motion to Extend Discovery Deadlines Pursuant to Local Rule 26-4 and 6-1, Compel Authorizations from Plaintiff, Compel Written Discovery Responses from Defendant/Cross-Claimant Wal-Mart, and for Sanctions Against Defendant/Cross-Claimant Wal-Mart (#18), filed on October 6, 2011. On October 11, 2011, the Court entered a Minute Order (#19), setting the motion for hearing on October 20, 2011, and shortening the parties' response time.
On October 14, 2011, the Impex filed a Notice of Withdrawal of Portions of Defendant's Motion (#20), notifying the Court that it intends to withdraw portions of the motion which seek to compel discovery from and sanctions against Wal-Mart. On that same day, Wal-Mart filed their Statement of Non-Opposition Only to Those Portions of Defendant's Motion Seeking Extensions of Discovery Deadlines, Extension of Discovery Period, and/or Discovery Relief Against Plaintiff Edward Johnson (#21). In light of these filings, the Court vacated the scheduled hearing (#22). On October 18, 2011, Impex filed an additional Notice of Withdrawal of Portions of Motion (#24), informing the Court that the parties reached an agreement as to the requested Authorizations and therefore intends to withdraw the portion of its motion which seeks to compel Authorizations from Plaintiff. On October 18, 2011, Plaintiff Edward Johnson filed his Non-Opposition to Impex's Emergency Motion to Extend Discovery Deadlines Pursuant to Local Rule 26-4 (#23).
As a result, the only issue before the Court is Impex's request to extend the discovery deadlines in this case. Neither Wal-Mart nor Plaintiff oppose this extension of time. Therefore, the Court will grant Impex's request. Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Impex's Emergency Motion to Extend Discovery Deadlines Pursuant to Local Rule 26-4 and 6-1 (#18) is granted. The discovery deadlines in this case shall be as follows: April 29, 2012 January 28, 2012 February 27, 2012 February 27, 2012 March 25, 2012 May 27, 2012 June 26, 2012
