However, the parties submit that good cause and 3 excusable neglect exists for the delay. 7 LR 26-3 states in relevant part: 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 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 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. 8 In evaluating excusable neglect, the court considers the following factors: (1) the reason 9 for the delay and whether it was in the reasonable control of the moving party, (2) whether the 10 moving party acted in good faith, (3) the length of the delay and its potential impact on the 11 proceedings, and (4) the danger of prejudice to the nonmoving party. See Pioneer Inv. Servs. Co. 12 v. Brunswick Assocs., 507 U.S. 380, 395 S. Ct. 1489, 123 L.Ed.2d 74 (1993). 4 5 6 13 The deposition of Defendant Lora Cody was scheduled to take place on June 28, 2022; 14 prior to the current deadline to complete discovery. However, Defendant Cody, who is a Homicide 15 Detective with LVMPD, received a Subpoena to testify in a criminal proceeding in the Eighth 16 Judicial District Court on June 28, 2022. Defendant Cody notified her Counsel that the criminal 17 trial would be proceeding and she would not be able to appear for her deposition on June 21, 2022. 18 Because of schedule conflicts, the first available date to take the deposition of Defendant Cody is 19 July 21, 2022. As such, the parties did not know twenty-one (21) days ago that they would not be 20 able to complete all discovery prior to the deadline. 21 /// 22 /// 23 /// 24 /// KAEMPFER CROWELL 1980 Festival Plaza Drive Suite 650 Las Vegas, Nevada 89135 3165567_1.docx 6943.212 Page 5 of 6 Case 2:20-cv-00769-KJD-DJA Document 87 Filed 06/27/22 Page 6 of 6 1 This request for an extension is made in good faith and joined by all the parties in this case. 2 The Request is not timely but the parties submit that excusable neglect exists. Trial is not yet set 3 in this matter and dispositive motions have not yet been filed. Accordingly, this extension will not 4 delay this case. Moreover, since this request is a joint request, neither party will be prejudiced. 5 The extension will allow the parties the necessary time to complete discovery.
