1 2 3 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 4 DISTRICT OF NEVADA 5 SHARON SANDERS, et al., 6 Case No.: 2:24-cv-00845-CDS-NJK Plaintiffs, 7 Order v. 8 [Docket No. 32] CITY OF NORTH LAS VEGAS, et al., 9 Defendants. 10 11 Pending before the Court is the parties’ stipulation to extend discovery deadlines by 60 12 days. Docket No. 32. 13 A request to extend unexpired deadlines in the scheduling order must be premised on a 14 showing of good cause. Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4); Local Rule 26-3. The good cause analysis turns 15 on whether the subject deadlines cannot reasonably be met despite the exercise of diligence. 16 Johnson v. Mammoth Recreations, Inc.,

(9th Cir. 1992). “The diligence 17 obligation is ongoing.” Morgal v. Maricopa Cnty. Bd. of Supervisors,

(D.

). The showing of diligence is measured by the conduct displayed throughout the 19 entire period of time already allowed. See Muniz v. United Parcel Serv., Inc.,

, 20 967 (N. D. Cal. 2010) (quoting Jackson v. Laureate, Inc.,

(E. D. Cal. 1999)). 21 That a request is jointly submitted “neither mandates allowance of the extension sought nor 22 exempts parties from making the necessary showings to justify that relief. Failure to provide such 23 showings may result in denial of a stipulated request to extend the case management deadlines.” 24 Williams v. James River Grp. Inc.,

, 1178 (D. Nev. 2022) 25 Here, the parties have failed to demonstrate diligence. The Court issued the scheduling 26 order in this case on August 2, 2024. Docket No. 20. However, the parties have conducted very 27 little affirmative discovery. Docket No. 32 at 1-2. 28 1 Nonetheless, as a one-time courtesy, the Court will allow a 30-day extension of the unexpired deadlines. 3 Accordingly, the stipulation to extend is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. Docket No. 32. 5 Deadlines are RESET as follows: 6 e Initial expert: March 12, 2025 7 e Rebuttal expert: April 11, 2025 8 e Discovery cutoff: May 12, 2025 9 e Dispositive motions: June 11, 2025 10 e Joint proposed pretrial order: July 11, 2025, 30 days after resolution of dispositive 11 motions or further order of the Court 12 Any future request to extend discovery deadlines must include a robust showing of 13} diligence. 14 IT IS SO ORDERED. 15 Dated: February 4, 2025
