1 I. SPECIFIC DESCRIPTION OF WHY EXTENSION IS NECESSARY 2 This is the second request for an extension of discovery deadlines in this matter. 3 | |The Parties request that the Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order deadlines be extended an 4 | |additional sixty (60) days so that the Parties may complete the tasks above. 5 The Parties have been diligently conducting discovery, but an extension is needed 6 | |to efficiently continue to conduct discovery, resolve issues or pursue meet and confer efforts, 7 | janalyze the information provided, and manage the case. The Parties are resolving issues and 8 | |meeting and conferring regarding related issues. Finally, the Parties together request this in 9 | |good faith and to further the resolution of this complicated case on the merits, and not for 10 | Jany purpose of delay. 11 Good cause for this extension particularly exists with regard to amending the 12 | |pleadings and adding parties, as further discovery (and an ENE session) needs to be 13 | |completed before current deadline of August 5, 2024, to determine whether amendment will : 14 | |be needed. 15 Good cause for the extension also exists due to Plaintiff's counsel experiencing 16 | |family medical emergencies, as noted in the first request for an extension of the instant 17 | |deadlines (ECF No. 17.) Following the recent death of Mr. Wolpert’s father in late May of 18 | |2024, Mr. Wolpert has had extensive family obligations as has Ms. McLetchie. Then, on July 19 | |28, 2024, Ms. McLetchie’s mother passed away, requiring her to assist with funeral 20 | jarrangements and attend to her late mother’s affairs and estate. The death has impeded Ms. 21 | |McLetchie’s ability to perform legal work on this and other matters. 22 There is thus good cause for the extension. “Good cause to extend a discovery 23 | |deadline exists ‘if it cannot reasonably be met despite the diligence of the party seeking the 24 | |extension.’” Derosa v. Blood Sys., Inc., No. 2:13-cv-0137-JCM-NJK,

1 | Jand proceeding”). The Parties have been diligent in litigating this matter. Thus, the standard 2 | |to extend all deadlines is satisfied here. 3 Based on the foregoing stipulation and proposed deadlines plan, the Parties thus 4 | |respectfully request an extension of time to extend the discovery in this matter to enable to 5 | |them to conduct necessary discovery in this matter and so that this matter is fairly resolved 6 | jon the merits. 7 IV.
