STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER EXTENDING PRETRIAL DEADLINES
BENJAMIN H. SETTLE, District Judge.
I. STIPULATION
The parties, through their undersigned counsel of record, respectfully submit this stipulation and proposed order seeking extension of the pretrial deadline for discovery completion in this matter. The parties have not previously sought an extension in this case. This is a civil rights case.
A deposition of the Plaintiff was scheduled for December 14, 2016, at 10:00 a.m. at the offices of Plaintiff's counsel. Plaintiff failed to appear for the deposition. With Plaintiff still not present at 10:30 a.m., the deposition was therefore canceled.
Rather than contest motions for sanctions, etc., the parties would prefer to work together to resolve the matter by having the defense take the Plaintiff's deposition. However, the deadline for completion of discovery is currently scheduled for Monday, December 19, 2016, which will not permit the parties sufficient time to attempt to reschedule the deposition. For that reason, the parties seek an extension of the discovery completion deadline by 12 days until December 31, 2016. During the extended discovery period, the conduct of discovery by the parties would be limited to taking the deposition of Plaintiff, and any necessary additional follow-up related to that deposition.
Therefore, the parties stipulate and request that the Court extend the following pretrial deadline:
ACTIVITY CURRENT DEADLINE REQUESTED EXTENSION
Discovery COMPLETED by December 19, 2016 December 31, 2017
The parties are not seeking an extension of the trial date or any other dates in the Court's July 1, 2016, minute order.
STIPULATED TO this 16th day of December, 2016.
II. ORDER
Based on the foregoing stipulation, the Court orders that the discovery completion date be rescheduled and the new case schedule is as follows:
ACTIVITY DATE
SEVEN DAY JURY TRIAL set for 09:00 AM April 18, 2017
