August 7, 2020 Filing 63 NOTICE of Service of Discovery filed by Byron Hix, Jamie Hix. (Bossier, Sheila)
July 23, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 62 ORDER: This matter is before the Court on the parties' Fourth Stipulated Request for Extension of the Parties' Expert Witness Deadlines in Scheduling Order (Doc. #61 ). The parties again request an extension of expert disclosure deadlines. The Stipulation fails to provide any specifics as to why the deadlines that were previously extended cannot be timely met, but generally states that additional time is needed due to the "interruption of Plaintiffs' Arizona and California based experts' businesses and lives due to governmental restrictions imposed in response to the ongoing pandemic." The Court is sympathetic to the logistical problems resulting from the pandemic, but will not perpetually extend deadlines absent a clear showing of good cause--and given that this is the fourth extension requested from the parties--the specific extraordinary circumstances that have prevented the parties from meeting their deadlines. Accordingly, this will be the last extension afforded to the parties. IT IS ORDERED that the Stipulation (Doc. #61 ) is GRANTED. Plaintiffs expert disclosure deadline is extended to August 7, 2020. Defendant's expert disclosure deadline is extended to October 2, 2020. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the remainder of the original Rule 16 Scheduling Order (Doc. #30 ) is AFFIRMED. ORDERED by Judge Diane J Humetewa on 7/23/2020. This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY. There is no PDF document associated with this entry. (LFIG)
