(herein “the parties”), by and through their respective counsel 6 of record, hereby stipulate and agree to and jointly move this Honorable Court for an order to 7 continue discovery by ninety (90) days as indicated below.

ECF No. 9. 10 A. DISCOVERY COMPLETED TO DATE 11 The parties have produced the following disclosures: 12 1. Plaintiff served the following disclosures: 13 a.

The parties anticipate that supplemental written discovery may be needed once the 8 parties complete depositions. 9 C. REASON FOR REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF DISCOVERY DEADLINES 10 A scheduling order can be modified "for good cause and with the judge's consent." FRCP 11 16(b)(4). "A motion or stipulation to extend time must state the reasons for the extension requested 12 and must inform the court of all previous extensions of the subject deadline the court granted." LR 13 IA 6-1 (a). "District courts should generally allow amendments of pre-trial orders when 'no 14 substantial injury will be occasioned to the opposing party, the refusal to allow the amendment might 15 result in injustice to the movant, and the inconvenience to the court is slight.'" Campbell Industries 16 v. M/V Gemini, 619 F.2d 24, 27-28 (9th Cir. 1980) (quoting Angle v. Sky Chef, Inc., 535 F.2d 492, 17 495 (9th Cir. 1976); Sherman v. United States, 462 F.2d 577, 579 (5th Cir. 1972)). Here, as discussed 18 below, there is no dispute among the parties that an extension would cause any injury or injustice, 19 and that a refusal of extension could prejudice the parties. Additionally, no trial date is currently set. 20 Therefore, the stipulated request for an extension should be granted. 21 The parties are actively conducting discovery and have engaged in meet and confers to 22 resolve disputes before seeking Court intervention. However, the parties have engaged in motion 23 practice, most recently having appeared before the Court on January 8, 2021 to resolve several 24 discovery disputes. Moreover, COVID-19 has presented additional challenges the parties have had 25 to navigate. The parties agree that this matter should be resolved on the merits. To that end, the 26 parties continue to pursue discovery and their attempts to resolve discovery disputes short of Court 27 intervention. 1 parties are also amenable to participate in a telephonic conference with the Court if necessary, to 2 further discuss the bases for the requested 90-day extension of deadlines. 3 D.
