REASONS Wiy DISCOVERY NOT COMPLETED WITHIN TIME SET BY DISCOVERY PLAN 19 A motion to extend deadlines articulated in the court’s scheduling order must be supporte 20 by a showing of good cause. See Local Rule 26-3; see also Johnson v. Mammoth Recreations, Inc., 21 975 F.2d 604, 608-09 (9th Cir. 1992). Good cause to extend a deadline exists if it cannot reasonabl 22 be met despite the diligence of the party seeking extension. Johnson, 975 F.2d at 609. In the instan 23 matter, all parties have diligently attempted to comply with the Court’s scheduling order 24 however, due to recent developments that have transpired during litigation, the parties hav determined they will be unable to obtain unable to obtain and produce key evidence related to th 26 incident and alleged damages, which then deprives the parties and their respective experts of acces 27 ei Counsel for Preventative Measures has required an extension of the original deadline(s) for the foregoin discovery to obtain the information and documents responsive the pending discovery requests.

Within the past month the following has transpired: 4 1. On October 10, 2023, the Court issued an order granting Mr. Miller’s request to amen 5 his complaint to add Defendants Marco Solorio and Leonard Morris. ECF No. 15. Mr. Mille 6 subsequently filed the First Amended Complaint the following day. ECF No. 17. Service of th 7 first amended complaint and summonses is pending, and the newly added defendants have yet t 8 file a responsive pleading. 9 2. Mr. Miller was recently incarcerated and is currently an inmate at Southern Dese 10 Correctional Center. On October 2, 2023, Defendant Clark County filed a motion for leave to tak 11 Mr. Miller’s deposition. ECF No. 14. Plaintiff’s counsel filed a notice of non-opposition o 12 October 18, 2023. ECF No. 24. The parties are simply awaiting an order from the Court wit respect to the request to take Mr. Miller’s deposition. 14 3. On October 16, 2023, Defendant Clark County moved to amend the Crossclaim that 1 J|asserted against Defendant Preventative Measures. ECF No. 19. The Court has not issued a rulin 16 on pending motion yet. In sum, the parties cannot meet the expert deadline and complete discovery within th 18 current dates due to the reasons above. The parties have worked diligently in their attempts t 19 schedule Mr. Miller’s deposition (after his recent incarceration). Further, with the recent additio 20 of the new defendants, additional time is necessary to allow the newly added defendants th 21 opportunity to respond to Plaintiff’s allegations and conduct the necessary discovery to defen 22 against the claims asserted against them in them in this matter. The requested extension will ensur 23 all parties have a full and fair opportunity to litigate the claims and defenses on the merits] 24 Therefore, and as set forth below, due diligence and good cause can be shown to allow the Court, 25 in its discretion, to extend the remaining deadlines as requested. 26 wee 27 wee 28 wee
