The correctional officer has 21 been out of work on extended medical leave. As such, the parties request the following changes: 22 Deadline Current Deadline Proposed Deadline 23 1. Non-Expert Discovery November 15, 2011 December 15, 2011 24 2. Expert Disclosure November 18, 2011 December 18, 2011 25 3. Supp. Exp. Discl. December 2, 2011 January 2, 2012 26 4. Exp. Discovery January 6, 2012 February 5, 2012 27 5. Non-Disp. Filing Deadline January 13, 2012 February 12, 2010 28 6. Disp. Mot. Filing Deadline March 3, 2012 April 3, 2012 1 The parties request no change to the date of the pretrial conference (June 6, 2012) and the trial date 2 (July 30, 2012). 3 The parties request a dispositive motion filing deadline of April 3, 2012. Pursuant to Local 4 Rule 230(b), the parties must provide at least a twenty-eight (28) day notice after service and filing 5 of a motion before the motion can be heard. Further, Chief District Judge Ishii schedules civil 6 motions for hearing on Mondays. As such, the proposed dispositive motion filing deadline of April 7 3, 2012, means that the earliest date a motion could be heard is Monday, May 7, 2012. The proposed 8 filing deadline does not leave sufficient time between a dispositive motion hearing date and the 9 pretrial conference date of June 6, 2012, for the Court to consider and make a determination on any 10 motions before the Court. 11 The Court is willing to accommodate the parties' request for a modified schedule, but cannot 12 adopt the dates proposed in the stipulation. If the parties wish to re-file their request for an extension 13 of the schedule, they should propose dates that maintain at least seven (7) weeks between the hearing 14 date for the dispositive motions and the pretrial conference and at least eight (8) weeks between the 15 date of the pretrial conference and the date of the trial. 16 17 IT IS SO ORDERED. 18 Dated: ie14hj November 22, 2011 /s/ Sheila K. Oberto UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 2
