Discovery Completed to Date 22 Discovery in this matter is complete and the deadline to complete discovery has passed. 23 The parties have provided their initial Rule 26 Disclosures and produced numerous supplemental disclosures. All written discovery was completed and third-party subpoenas were served. The 24 1 depositions of each individual Defendant, the Plaintiff, third-party witnesses and experts were 2 taken. The parties timely disclosed expert and rebuttal expert reports. 3 B. Discovery Remaining to be Completed 4 No further discovery is needed. 5 C. Reason for Request for Extension of Dispositive Motion Deadline 6 The parties took some expert depositions close to the close of discovery and deposition 7 transcripts are not yet finalized. In addition, counsel for the LVMPD Defendants has scheduling 8 conflicts due to school closures for spring break. As such, a few additional weeks are needed to prepare 9 dispositive motions. 10 D. Proposed Extended Deadline for Dispositive Motions 11 Accordingly, the parties respectfully request that this Court enter an order as follows: 12 (1) Dispositive Motions. 13 The parties request the current deadline of March 22, 2023, be extended to April 12, 2023. 14 The parties recognize that they are making this request fewer than twenty-one days before 15 the current dispositive motion deadline of March 22, 2023, however the parties submit that good 16 cause and excusable neglect exists for the delay. 17 LR 26-3 states in relevant part: 18 A motion or stipulation to extend a deadline set forth in a discovery plan must be received by the court no later than 21 days before the expiration of 19 the subject deadline. A request made within 21 days of the subject deadline must be supported by a showing of good cause. A request made after the 20 expiration of the subject deadline will not be granted unless the movant also demonstrates that the failure to act was the result of excusable neglect. 21 In evaluating excusable neglect, the court considers the following factors: (1) the reason 22 for the delay and whether it was in the reasonable control of the moving party, (2) whether the 23 moving party acted in good faith, (3) the length of the delay and its potential impact on the 24 1 || proceedings, and (4) the danger of prejudice to the nonmoving party. See Pioneer Inv. Servs. Co. 2 || v. Brunswick Assocs., 507 U.S. 380, 395 S. Ct. 1489, 123 L.Ed.2d 74 (1993). 3 There is good cause for the requested brief extension as shown above. The parties have 4 |} acted diligently and have conducted all discovery in this matter. However, some depositions were 5 ||taken close to the discovery cut off and have caused a slight delay in the receipt of necessary 6 || transcripts. Moreover, Defendants Counsel will have some schedule conflicts with family due to 7 ||school closures for spring break and will not have sufficient time to prepare dispositive motions. 8 || Counsel was not aware that an extension would be needed twenty-one (21) days ago. As such, the 9 || parties believe that excusable neglect is shown. 10 This request for an extension is made in good faith and joined by all the parties in this case. 11 || Trial is not yet set in this matter and dispositive motions have not yet been filed. Accordingly, this 12 || extension will not delay this case. The extension will allow the Defendants the time needed to 13 || prepare their dispositive motions. 14 || DATED this 8th_day of March, 2023.
