ORDER1
SHERI POLSTER CHAPPELL, District Judge.
This matter comes before the Court on Joint Motion to Extend Pretrial Deadlines and to Continue Final Pretrial Conference and Trial (Doc. #22) filed on January 19, 2015. The discovery deadline is currently January 26, 2015. Plaintiff was recently unable to attend his January 15, 2015, deposition due to a medical issue. The parties, however, assert Plaintiff's deposition will be rescheduled if they do not settle at the January 22, 2015, mediation. As a result of this scheduling issue, the parties jointly seek to extend the current deadlines by thirty days. Upon consideration, the Court finds good cause to continue these deadlines. In re Accutane Prods. Liab. Litig., 923 F.Supp.2d 1349, 1351 (M.D. Fla. 2013) ("The scheduling order `may be modified only for good cause and with the judge's consent.'") (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4)). The Court, however, will alter some of the proposed deadlines.
Accordingly, it is now
ORDERED:
1. Joint Motion to Extend Pretrial Deadlines and to Continue Final Pretrial Conference and Trial (Doc. #22) is GRANTED.
2. The new schedule in this case is as follows:
