ORDER AMENDING THE CASE SCHEDULE
JENNIFER L. THURSTON, Magistrate Judge.
The Court issued a case schedule in this matter on December 28, 2016. (Doc. 32) On July 10, 2017, at the mid-discovery status conference, the Court learned that during January 2017, counsel for the plaintiff became seriously ill and was away from his office until March 2017. When he returned, he had a backlog of cases and did not turn his attention to this matter until May 2017. Since that time, he has been working on gathering the information for the plaintiff's initial disclosure. At the conference the Court ordered the plaintiff to make her disclosure no later than July 14, 2017, finding that the disclosure had been far too delayed. Because there remains insufficient time for the parties to discovery the case, the Court GRANTS their request (Doc. 35 at 1) to amend the case schedule to add 90 days to the current dates, as follows:
1. All non-expert discovery SHALL be completed no later than December 29, 2017; rebuttal experts disclosed no later than February 16, 2018. All expert discovery SHALL be completed no later than March 9, 2018;
3. Non-dispositive motions SHALL be filed no later than March 19, 2018 and heard no later than April 16, 2018;
4. Dispositive motion SHALL be filed no later than May 4, 2018 and heard no later than June 19, 2018;
5. The settlement conference is set on June 22, 2018 at 9:00 a.m.;
6. The pretrial conference is set on July 16, 2018 at 2:30 p.m. before District Judge Dale A. Drozd in Courtroom 5;
7. The trial is set on September 11, 2018 at 8:30 a.m. before District Judge Dale A. Drozd in Courtroom 5.
No further amendments to the case schedule are contemplated.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
