ORDER CONTINUING CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE
LUCY H. KOH, District Judge.
The case management conference set for March 16, 2016, at 2:00 p.m. is hereby CONTINUED to June 8, 2016, at 2:00 p.m. The parties shall file their joint case management statement by June 1, 2016.
On March 9, 2016, the parties filed a joint case management statement with a proposed case schedule. ECF No. 117. The parties proposed a fact discovery cut-off of October 14, 2016 and anticipated the case being ready for trial by April 24, 2017. Id. at 12.
On March 14, 2016, the Court proposed a case schedule and invited the parties to file any objections to the proposal. ECF No. 118. The Court's proposed schedule adopted the parties' proposed fact discovery cut-off of October 14, 2016, but proposed a trial date of July 10, 2017 to provide sufficient time for the parties to brief dispositive motions, the Court to rule on dispositive motions, and the parties to comply with the Court's pretrial conference filing deadlines. The Court also proposed April 20, 2017 as the hearing date for dispositive motions.
On March 15, 2016, Defendants Farmers Group, Inc., Farmers Insurance Exchange, and Farmers Insurance Company, Inc. (collectively, "Defendants") filed objections to the proposed schedule. ECF No. 119. Defendants asked the Court to extend the fact discovery deadline from October 14, 2016 to December 15, 2016. Defendants also extended the trial expert discovery dates and the dispositive motion briefing schedule. Plaintiffs Lynne Coates, Serena Neves, Karen Wasson, Keever Rhodes, and Celeste Stokes did not file any objections to the proposed case schedule.
The Court adopts Defendants' proposed fact and expert discovery extensions. However, the briefing schedule for dispositive motions remains as proposed by the Court. Accordingly, the Court adopts the following case schedule:
