If the parties believe that more than eight months will be needed to complete discovery, the parties should provide the Court with a detailed explanation as to why additional time is needed and a timeline for the discovery that is planned. After the Case Management Report is filed, the Court will determine whether a Case Management Hearing is necessary before entry of a Case Management and Scheduling Order. Signed by Judge Virginia M.

Accordingly, Plaintiffs are directed to show cause by August 17, 2026, why this action should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. The Court advises the parties that an extension of any deadline set by the Court, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, or the Local Rules, may only be granted by the Court.
