LYN L. STAMLER, Plaintiff, v. PRO TRUCKING, INC., et al., Defendants.
ORDER [DOCKET NOS. 16, 17]
NANCY J. KOPPE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Pending before the Court are the parties' stipulation for leave to file third-party complaint. Docket No. 16, and stipulation to extend discovery deadlines. Docket No. 17.
The parties seek leave for Defendants to file a third-party complaint, Docket No. 16, and to extend this case's discovery deadlines by 120 days, Docket No. 17. The deadline to amend the pleadings/add parties in this case expired on June 5, 2023. See Docket No. 13 at 2. The parties' stipulation to extend seeks to reopen and extend that deadline to September 5, 2023. See Docket No. 17 at 6. Requests to extend a deadline after the subject deadline has expired must be supported both by a showing of good cause and excusable neglect. Local Rule 26-3. The parties fail to address in either stipulation why their failure to move to extend the amendment deadline prior to its expiration date is the result of excusable neglect. See Docket Nos. 16, 17.
Accordingly, the parties' stipulation for leave to file third-party complaint and stipulation to extend discovery deadlines are DENIED without prejudice. Docket Nos. 16, 17. Airy subsequent stipulations must address all relevant standards and fully comply with this Court's Local Rules.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
