Charm Hospitality LLC v. Nohayia Javed, et al.

Opinion

DISTRICT OF NEVADA * * * Charm Hospitality LLC, Case No. 2:25-cv-00282-RFB-BNW Plaintiff, v. Nohayia Javed, et al., Defendants. Before this Court is Defendant Javed’s motion to extend the rebuttal expert and discovery deadlines. ECF No. 91. Plaintiff opposed and Defendant replied. ECF Nos. 93 and 96. The parties are familiar with the arguments. As a result, this Court only includes them as relevant and necessary to this order. I. ANALYSIS “The district court is given broad discretion in supervising the pretrial phase of litigation,” including in issuing and enforcing scheduling orders. Zivkovic v. S. Cal. Edison Co., 302 F.3d 1080, 1087 (9th Cir. 2002). A request to extend unexpired deadlines in the scheduling order must be premised on a showing of good cause. Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4); Local Rule 26-3. The good cause analysis turns on whether the subject deadlines cannot reasonably be met despite the exercise of diligence. Johnson v. Mammoth Recreations, Inc., 975 F.2d 604, 609 (9th Cir. 1992). This Court finds there is good cause for the requested extension. There are three motions to quash pending before this Court. ECF Nos. 74, 94, and 95. The first one regards documents Defendants are seeking. The remaining two relate to depositions that Defendants wish to take. The discovery process may be impacted based on this Court’s orders on the motions referred to above. Moreover, some of the delay surrounding the depositions Plaintiff is seeking to quash involve the currently pending dispute regarding the manner in which the meet and confer process is to take place. Lastly, the extension sought is not particularly long. No trial date is pending, and Plaintiff is not arguing prejudice by the sought extension. Indeed, the exhibits in support of this request show Plaintiff was in agreement to the sought extension until a disagreement arose over what discovery would be undertaken. ! The request for fees is denied as the circumstances would make the award unjust. IL. CONCLUSION IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Defendant Javed’s motion (at ECF No. 91) is GRANTED.
