Docket Nos. 27, 28. 14 A request to extend discovery deadlines must include a statement specifying the discovery 15 completed, a specific description of the discovery that remains, the reasons why the subject 16 deadline cannot be met, and a proposed schedule for completing the outstanding discovery. Local 17 Rule 26-3. The request must also be supported by a showing of good cause. Id. The good cause 18 analysis turns on whether the subject deadlines cannot reasonably be met despite the exercise of 19 diligence. Johnson v. Mammoth Recreations, Inc., 975 F.2d 604, 609 (9th Cir. 1992). This 20 showing of diligence is measured by the movant’s conduct throughout the entire period of time 21 already allowed. CC.Mexicano.US, LLC v. Aero II Aviation, Inc., 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 169110, 22 at *11-12 (D. Nev. Dec. 15, 2015). If diligence is not established, the Court’s inquiry should end. 23 Johnson, 975 F.2d at 609 (internal citation omitted). 24 This case has been pending since October 10, 2023. Docket No. 1. The parties’ recitation 25 of discovery completed thus far demonstrates that they have not diligently conducted discovery 26 throughout the discovery period. Docket No. 28 at 3-4. Therefore, the Court cannot find good 27 cause and the inquiry ends. 28 ] Nonetheless, because of counsel’s medical emergency, the Court GRANTS the parties’ requests. Docket Nos. 27, 28. The deadlines are RESET as follows: 3 Add/Amend Pleadings: May 6, 2024 4 Initial Expert: July 3, 2024 5 Rebuttal Expert: August 1, 2024 6 Discovery Cut-Off: September 1, 2024 7 Dispositive Motions: October 1, 2024 8 Joint Pretrial Order: October 31, 2024, 30 days after the 9 resolution of dispositive motions, or 10 further Court order. 1] IT IS SO ORDERED. 12 Dated: April 2, 2024 Zo.
