ORDER
(Docket No. 29)
NANCY J. KOPPE, Magistrate Judge.
Pending before the Court is a stipulation to extend various deadlines, filed on August 9, 2017. Docket No. 29. That stipulation seeks to extend, inter alia, the discovery cutoff deadline that has already expired. See Docket No. 27 (scheduling order establishing discovery cutoff deadline of July 31, 2017. Parties are generally required to seek relief from deadlines before they expire. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b). With respect to discovery deadlines, in particular, parties must file a request to extend at least 21 days before the expiration of the subject deadline for which extension is sought. See Local Rule 26-4; see also Docket No. 12 at 3 (stipulated discovery plan indicating that "[a]ny stipulation or motion to extend a deadline set forth in the discovery plan and scheduling order must be made no later than 21 days before the subject deadline"). When a request to extend is not timely filed, a showing of excusable neglect must be made in addition to the typical good cause showing. See, e.g., Local Rule 26-4. In this instance, the pending stipulation fails to address-let alone establish-excusable neglect.
Accordingly, the stipulation is DENIED without prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
