DARRELLYNE MAY SINOHUI, Plaintiff(s), v. ATS SPECIALIZED, INC., et al., Defendant(s).
ORDER [Docket Nos. 14, 16]
Nancy J. Koppe United States Magistrate Judge
Pending before the Court is a stipulation to extend all deadlines in the scheduling order by 90 days. Docket No. 14; see also Docket No. 16 (corrected filing). For the reasons discussed below, the stipulation is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part.
The deadline to amend the pleadings or add parties has expired. See id. at 3. In addition to a showing of good cause, requests to revive expired deadlines must be supported by a showing of excusable neglect. E.g., Local Rule 26-3. The stipulation provides no such showing. As such, the request to revive this deadline will be denied.
The remaining deadlines at issue have not expired. A request to extend unexpired deadlines in the scheduling order must be premised on a showing of good cause. Fed.R.Civ.P. 16(b)(4); Local Rule 26-3. The good cause analysis turns on whether the subject deadlines cannot reasonably be met despite the exercise of diligence. Johnson v. Mammoth Recreations, Inc., 975 F.2d 604, 609 (9th Cir. 1992). For good cause shown, the Court will grant the stipulation to extend the unexpired deadlines.
Accordingly, the deadlines in the scheduling order are RESET as follows:
• Amend pleadings/ add parties: closed
• Initial experts: May 6, 2022
• Rebuttal experts: June 8, 2022
• Discovery cutoff: July 7, 2022
• Dispositive motions: August 9, 2022
• Joint proposed pretrial order: September 6, 2022, or30 days after resolution of dispositive motions
IT IS SO ORDERED.
