ORDER
G.R. SMITH, Magistrate Judge.
Over five months ago in this contract dispute, the Court granted defendants' motion to join three third-party defendants. Doc. 28. It then delayed the deadline for submitting a proposed scheduling order until fourteen days after the last of the new defendants answered. Doc. 45. That happened on November 30, 2015, see docs. 50 & 51, but the parties never submitted the proposed scheduling order.
Instead, they filed a Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(f) report on December 15, 2015 that requested discovery commence on January 1, 2016. Doc. 52. They also noted that the "[u]nusually large number of parties [and] [u]nusually large number of claims [and] defenses" justified a request for additional discovery time. But they never said how much.
Hence, the Court ORDERS the parties to, within seven days of the date this Order is served, comply (finally) with the Court's previous extension (doc. 45) and submit a proposed scheduling order. That proposal will use January 1, 2016 as discovery's commencement and calculate remaining deadlines accordingly.
SO ORDERED.
