Pursuant to the Court’s Initial Scheduling Order (ECF No. 3) and the parties Joint Status Report (ECF No. 9), the current schedule is as follows:  Fact discovery cut off: March 25, 2022  Expert witness disclosure: May 24, 2022  Supplemental expert disclosure: June 23, 2022  Dispositive motion deadline: September 21, 2022 The parties in this case request an extension only as to the fact discovery cut off. The parties request that the current fact discovery deadline of March 25, 2022, be extended until May 25, 2022. The parties also request that the deadlines based on the fact discovery deadline also move accordingly. The respective deadlines would thus be as follows: o Fact discovery cut off: May 25, 2022 o Expert witness disclosure: July 25, 2022 o Supplemental expert disclosure: August 22, 2022 o Dispositive motion deadline: November 22, 2022 A scheduling order may only be modified upon a showing of good cause and by leave of Court. Fed. R. Civ. Proc. 6(b)(1)(A); Johnson v. Mammoth Recreations, Inc., 975 F.2d 604, 609 (9th Cir. 1992). In considering whether a party moving for a schedule modification has good cause, the Court primarily focuses on the diligence of the party seeking the modification. Johnson, 975 F.2d at 609. Defendant has served written discovery to Plaintiffs. In addition, Defendant seeks to depose the Plaintiffs after written discovery has been responded to. Further, Defendant and Plaintiff Perez have conferred extensively regarding the status of Rule 26 disclosures and have a pending telephonic pre-discovery motion conference with Judge Jeremy Peterson set for March 29, 2022. (ECF No. 10.) Judge Peterson was not available to set the conference until after fact discovery cut-off. Because formal motion practice may be required after the conference, the parties believe an extension of the discovery deadline is warranted. For these reasons, good cause exists to modify the fact discovery cut off deadline and related court deadlines. / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
