9 Johnson, 975

F.2d at 609. 10 The parties exchanged initial disclosures on March 14, 2025. Defendants’ disclosures 11 contained an extensive amount of videos and other media. (Cahill Decl. ¶ 2.) Shortly thereafter, 12 the parties opted to attempt to resolve the matter through a settlement conference prior to 13 undertaking substantial discovery. On April 25, 2025, the Court set a settlement conference 14 before Judge Riordan on June 17, 2025. (ECF No. 7.) The case did not resolve at the settlement 15 conference. (ECF No. 13.) Following the settlement conference, Defendants served Rule 68 16 offers to Plaintiffs on August 27, 2025, but Plaintiffs did not accept. (Cahill Decl., ¶ 4.) During 17 these settlement efforts, the parties agreed to an informal stay of discovery. (Cahill Decl., ¶ 4.) 18 As it became apparent that the matter would not settle, on September 12, 2025, counsel for 19 Defendants reached out to Plaintiffs’ counsel to determine whether the parties required more 20 time conduct discovery. (Cahill Decl., ¶ 5.) On October 8, 2025, Plaintiffs’ counsel agreed to 21 extend deadlines as sought in this proposal so that the parties could conduct additional discovery. 22 (Cahill Decl., ¶ 6.) 23 For these reasons, good cause exists to modify the fact discovery cut off deadline and 24 related court deadlines. 25 IT IS SO STIPULATED. 26 / / / 27 / / / 28 / / / 1 Dated: October 16, 2025 LONGYEAR, LAVRA & CAHILL, LLP 2 By:_/a/ Nicole M.
