November 9, 2010 Opinion or Order Filing 27 MINUTES (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER by Judge Philip S. Gutierrez denying 26 Ex Parte Application Plaintiff's Ex Parte Application to Reopen Discovery: Plaintiff argues that ex parte relief is warranted because he served a demand for production of docu ments on Defendants on July 29, 2010, but agreed to extend the time by which Defendants were to respond pending the entry of a protective order. See Ex Parte Application 2. Because the protective order was not submitted until October 8, 2010, and was not entered by the Court until October 29, Plaintiff insists that he is unable to conduct the discovery necessary to proceed with settlement or trial. Id. While that may be true, there is no excuse for the delay in discovery that created the "n eed" to file this ex parte application. The parties offered a discovery cut-off date in their Joint Report and this Court set a date very close to what the parties suggested. They knew in May of 2010 that a protective order would be necessary in this case, yet waited to file it with the Court until October 8, less than one month from the looming discovery cut-off date. It is not the role of a district court to regularly check in on the parties to ensure that they are doing what they are su pposed to be doing. There is no good cause for the delay in filing the protective order and there is no good cause that would justify granting this extraordinary ex parte relief. Plaintiff's Ex Parte Application is DENIED. (see document for further details) (bm)
