ORDER
[Docket No. 30]
NANCY J. KOPPE, Magistrate Judge.
Pending before the Court is a stipulation to extend certain deadlines. Docket No. 30. Although a close question, the Court finds sufficient cause for the particular extension sought with respect to experts, and will GRANT the stipulation. Nonetheless, the stipulation raises concern that discovery has not been conducted in a diligent manner generally speaking. Discovery has been open for nearly five months. See Docket No. 30 at 2 (Rule 26(f) conference held on March 21, 2018); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(d)(1). Despite acknowledging that "Plaintiff needs to propound written discovery and take numerous depositions," the stipulation identifies no affirmative discovery of any kind sought by Plaintiff to date. See Docket No. 30 at 2. Discovery needs to get moving.
Accordingly, in light of the above, the stipulation is hereby GRANTED and deadlines are SET as follows:
• Amend pleadings/add parties: Closed
• Plaintiff's initial experts: September 5, 2018
• Defendant Core Civic's initial experts: October 22, 2018
• Interim status report: December 4, 2018
• Rebuttal experts: December 4, 2018
• Discovery cutoff: February 1, 2019
• Dispositive motions: March 5, 2019
• Joint proposed pretrial order: April 4, 2019, or 30 days after resolution of dispositive motions
The Court expects discovery to move forward expeditiously and is not inclined to extend deadlines any further without significant progress being made.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
