Here, the parties have not explained why they require an extension of time to 4 file dispositional papers. See Sprague v. Fin. Credit Network, Inc., 2018 WL 4616688, at *4 (E.D. 5 Cal. Sept. 25, 2018) (“[Good cause] requires the party to show that despite due diligence the 6 scheduled deadline could not be met.”). However, based upon the parties’ consent to the amended 7 deadline, and in the interest of justice, the Court finds that the parties’ request is warranted and no 8 prejudice will result. 9 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the parties shall file appropriate papers to 10 dismiss or conclude this action in its entirety no later than August 20, 2020. The parties are advised 11 that any future extensions will require demonstrated showing of good cause. Good cause may 12 consist of the inability to comply with court orders in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Any such 13 future difficulties should be explained. 14 IT IS SO ORDERED. 15 16 Dated: July 20, 2020 /s/ Barbara A. McAuliffe _ UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
