STIPULATION AND ORDER RE EXTENSION OF DISCOVERY DEADLINE
TROY L. NUNLEY, District Judge.
Defendant and Counterclaimant Comcast Cable Communications Management, LLC ("Comcast"), Plaintiff and Counterdefendant Clear Connection Corporation, and Counterdefendants Clear Connection, LLC and Kurk Moody (collectively, "Clear Connection") by and through their respective counsel of record, hereby submit the following stipulation and proposed order regarding a limited extension of the fact discovery deadline in this action pursuant to Local Rule 144(a). As set forth below, the requested extension will not impact any other case deadlines.
BRIEF JOINT STATEMENT
Comcast and Clear Connection (the "Parties") have been engaged in fact discovery in this action, but both agree that the process, particularly the scheduling of depositions, including thirdparty depositions, is taking longer than previously expected. There is a pending motion to compel filed by Comcast along with a Joint Statement by the Parties regarding certain outstanding discovery issues. A hearing is set for next week on the Magistrate Judge's calendar for 10:00 a.m. on July 27, 2016. The Court's guidance on these issues should not only assist the parties in resolving the subjects of the motion, but may allow the parties to informally resolve other issues in the spirit of the Court's decision.
The Parties agree that the prospects of conducting this litigation more efficiently will be materially increased by extending the fact discovery deadline set in this Court's May 18, 2016 Pretrial Scheduling Order for the limited purposes of taking and defending depositions and completing any other motion practice relating to discovery disputes. The Parties further agree that extending the discovery deadline for these limited purposes will help to accommodate party and non-party witness scheduling conflicts during the summer season. Finally, the Parties agree that extending the discovery deadline will not affect any of the other deadlines set forth in the Court's May 18, 2016 Pretrial Scheduling Order.
STIPULATION
THEREFORE, the Parties, by and through their respective counsel of record, hereby stipulate, subject to Court approval, as follows:
1. The deadline to complete all fact discovery shall be extended for a period of five
(5) weeks, up through and including September 16, 2016.
2. The extension period shall be used for the limited purposes of providing the parties sufficient time to schedule depositions of party and third-party witnesses; and completing any necessary motion practice related to discovery disputes.
3. All other deadlines ordered by the Court in its May 18, 2016 Pretrial Scheduling Order shall remain the same.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
