STIPULATION TO EXTEND DEADLINE TO FILE THE PROPOSED DISCOVERY PLAN AND SCHEDULING ORDER (SECOND REQUEST)
Caprice D. Miles (“Plaintiff”) and Backgroundchecks.com LLC (“Defendant”) (jointly as the “parties”) hereby request that this Court extend the deadline for the parties to file their proposed discovery plan and scheduling order (the “Deadline”). The Deadline is currently set for December 22, 2022. ECF No. 20. The parties request that the deadline be extended until February 2, 2023. This is the second request for an extension of this deadline.
Good cause exists to extend the Deadline. On November 4, 2022, Plaintiff filed her first motion to extend the deadline to file the proposed discovery plan and scheduling order. ECF. No. 19. The extension was sought because Plaintiff and Acima Digital, LLC-the first defendant to have filed an answer-had stipulated to stay the case and proceed in arbitration. See ECF No. 13. By the time discovery was due on November 3, 2022, Backgroundchecks.com LLC-the only remaining defendant-had not yet filed its response to the complaint.
On December 2, 2022, this Court granted the parties fourth request for an extension of time for Defendant to file its responsive pleading up until January 3, 2023. ECF No. 28. Therefore, because Defendant's response to the complaint is due January 3, 2023, and the discovery plan is due December 22, 2022, the parties request additional time to meet and confer in compliance with Local Rule 26-1(b) and submit their proposed discovery plan.
Accordingly, the parties request that this Court extend the Deadline to 30 days after Defendant's response to the complaint is due, January 3, 2023, making the new deadline for the parties to submit their proposed discovery plan and scheduling order to February 2, 2023.
IT IS SO ORDERED:
