ORDER
JANE M. VIRDEN, Magistrate Judge.
Before the court is Counter-Defendant Republic Fire and Casualty Insurance Company's Motion to Stay (Doc. 98) these proceedings or in the alternative to grant an extension of its expert designation deadline and an extension of the discovery deadline. The court has considered the record of this case and the record of the Azlin matter and finds that Republic has failed to establish good cause for a stay of these proceedings. Accordingly, the motion to stay is not well-taken and is hereby DENIED.
Further, the deadline for defendants to designate experts expired on March 5, 2012. Republic filed the instant motion on March 9. Accordingly, Republic's request for an extension of its expert deadline is untimely, and it has failed to show good cause for an extension. Therefore, Republic's request for an extension of its expert deadline is DENIED. The court will allow, however, a limited extension of the discovery deadline and a concomitant extension of the motions deadline. Accordingly, all discovery must be completed on or before June 15, 2012, and all dispositive motions must be filed on or before 6/29/12.
SO ORDERED.
