ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN PART JOINT MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT #142 by Judge Stanley Blumenfeld, Jr.: Because Defendants have not produced any evidence that Plaintiff's STITCH EDITING Mark is generic, Plaintiff is entitled to summary judgment on Defendants' cancellation counterclaim. Plaintiff's motion is therefore GRANTED IN PART, and Defendants' counterclaim is DISMISSED on the merits with prejudice. Genuine issues of material fact preclude summary judgment on the parties' remaining disputes, and their summary judgment motions are otherwise DENIED. (gk)

ORDER DENYING IN PART PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO MODIFY SCHEDULING ORDER by Judge Stanley Blumenfeld, Jr.: Plaintiff filed a motion to modify the CMO #109 , in which Plaintiff claims that Defendants have acted in bad faith and obstructed discovery throughout this case. Plaintiff requests a three-month continuance of the discovery deadline only as to Plaintiff, a three-month continuance of all subsequent deadlines, and various conditional sanctions. The Court will modify the CMO to a limited extent to account for Magistrate Judge Kim's recent discovery ruling. Judge Kim held a hearing yesterday on Plaintiffs motion to compel and ordered the parties to produce additional discovery before the close of fact discovery. To facilitate the parties' compliance, the Court CONTINUES the fact discovery deadline by two and a half weeks to 10/3/2022. The other deadlines in the CMO remain unchanged, and no further continuances of the discovery deadline will be permitted. In conclusion, Plaintiff has not demonstrated the diligence required to warrant the requested continuance. The Court, however, shall extend the fact discovery to 10/3/2022, solely for purposes of completing the discovery authorized by Judge Kim. The motion is therefore denied in part. Plaintiff is cautioned that further disregard for the Court's orders may result in sanctions, including monetary sanctions. (gk)
