Opinion
Case No. 1:09-cv-02064-OWW-GSA.
November 4, 2010
Richard J. Meier, pro hac vice, Legal Helpers, P.C., Chicago, IL, Attorney for Plaintiffs.
ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFFS' MOTION TO EXTEND THE DISCOVERY DEADLINE AND CORRESPONDING DATES Telephonic appearance requested
Now come the Plaintiffs, by and through counsel, and respectfully move the Court to extend the discovery deadlines and revise the remaining dates accordingly.
In support of this Motion, Plaintiffs represent that, in the interests of time and costs, they refrained from conducting further discovery while Plaintiffs' Motion for Finding of Liability (Docket # 13), which was filed on June 25, 2010, was pending before this Court. That Motion was eventually heard on September 14, 2010 and, on October 14, 2010, this Court issued on Order denying Plaintiffs' Motion; however, the deadline for discovery in this case passed on October 6, 2010. To date, Plaintiffs requested deposition dates from Defendant but Defendant has yet to respond; if Defendant does no so by October 31, 2010, Plaintiffs intend to arbitrarily notice depositions in December 2010.
Given the foregoing, Plaintiffs respectfully request that the discovery deadline be extend to January 15, 2011 and the remaining dates adjusted accordingly. The extension is necessary because the parties responsibly chose not to expend additional resources while Plaintiffs' Motion was pending that, if granted, would have made further discovery unnecessary.
For good cause shown, the Court hereby GRANTS the Plaintiffs' Motion to Extend the Discovery Deadline and Corresponding Dates.
It is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED that the remaining dates in the above-captioned matter are amended as follows:
Discovery Deadline: January 15, 2011 Non-Dispositive Motions: February 15, 2011 Hearing: March 18, 2011, 9:30 AM, before Judge Austin Dispositive Motions: March 4, 2011 Hearing: April 4, 2011, 10:00 AM, before Judge Wanger Pretrial Conference: May 2, 2011, 11:00 AM, before Judge Wanger Jury Trial: June 7, 2011, 9:00 AM, before Judge Wanger IT IS SO ORDERED.
