STIPULATED MOTION AND ORDER TO EXTEND DISCOVERY MOTION DEADLINE

THOMAS S. ZILLY, District Judge.

Plaintiff Eko Brands, LLC ("Eko") and Defendants Adrian Rivera Maynez Enterprises, Inc. and Adrian Rivera (together "ARM") respectfully request that this Court extend the deadline for filing motions related to discovery from June 7, 2018 to June 21, 2018. (See Trial Schedule, Dkt. 23)

Good cause exists for this modification. On April 18, 2018, Eko served discovery requests upon ARM, including requests for the production of documents. On May 18, 2018, ARM served responses and objections to the requests, but without any of the requested documents. The parties are presently in trial in the Western District of Washington in the matter of Eko Brands, LLC v. Adrian Rivera Maynez Enterprises, Inc. and Adrian Rivera, No. C15-522-JPD. Allowing a brief extension to this deadline would allow ARM to serve the requested documents promptly after the currently pending trial. In turn, that extension of time would also allow Eko to avoid filing an motion to compel the production of the documents, while preserving the opportunity to file such a motion within the extended time in the event it becomes necessary. The parties submit that the present request is in the interest of judicial economy in that it will hopefully avoid the need for a discovery-related motion.

The parties therefore request that the Court extend the deadline for discovery-related motions from June 7 to June 21. This extension will not affect other deadlines in this case, and all other deadlines would remain the same.

ORDER

It is so ORDERED, that the deadline for discovery-related motions is hereby extended from June 7 to June 21, 2018.
