6 YIRENYS GONZALEZ-VIAMONTES, et al., Case No.: 2:24-cv-01421-GMN-NJK 7 Plaintiffs, Order 8 v. [Docket No. 16] 9 ALLSTATE INSURANCE COMPANY, 10 Defendant. 11 12 Pending before the Court is the parties’ stipulation to extend discovery deadlines. Docket 13 No. 16. 14 A request to extend unexpired deadlines in the scheduling order must be premised on a 15 showing of good cause. Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4); Local Rule 26-3. The good cause analysis turns 16 on whether the subject deadlines cannot reasonably be met despite the exercise of diligence. 17 Johnson v. Mammoth Recreations, Inc.,

(9th Cir. 1992). 18 Here, the parties have failed to demonstrate diligence. The Court issued the scheduling 19 order in this case on October 1, 2024. Docket No. 14. Nonetheless, the parties waited until 20 November to conduct any discovery at all, and have conducted almost no discovery. Docket No. 21 16 at 3. Further, the stipulation seeks relief due to numerous scheduling conflicts and because “the 22 parties would like to reach a settlement.”

However, the stipulation fails to explain why those 23 circumstances justify a three-month extension of deadlines. Such an extension appears excessive 24 on its face in relation to the circumstance identified. 25 Additionally, the instant stipulation fails to meet the requirements of the local rules. The 26 parties do not provide a specific description of the discovery that remains to be completed, see 27 Local Rule 26-3(b); instead, the parties submit that the discovery to be completed includes 28 “subpoena, written discovery, and additional depositions.” Docket No. 16 at 3. 1 Nonetheless, as a one-time courtesy, the Court will allow a 90-day extension. The Court is not inclined to extend deadlines further. 3 Accordingly, the stipulation to extend is GRANTED. Docket No. 16. 4 Deadlines are RESET as follows: 5 e Discovery cutoff: April 29, 2025 6 e Dispositive motions: May 29, 2025 7 e Joint proposed pretrial order: June 30, 2025, or 30 days after resolution of 8 dispositive motions 9 IT IS SO ORDERED. 10 Dated: December 20, 2024 11 7. ae Nancy J.
