10 Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion to extend the discovery deadlines. Docket No. 34.

12 A request to extend unexpired deadlines in the scheduling order must be premised on a showing of good cause. Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4); Local Rule 26-3. The good cause analysis turns on whether the subject deadlines cannot reasonably be met despite the exercise of diligence.

As a one- time courtesy to the parties in light of the circumstances, the Court will grant a 60-day extension and a reopening of the requested deadlines. The parties must diligently conduct discovery.

22 Accordingly, the stipulation is GRANTED. Docket No. 34.
