02/18/2021 Motion Referred: RE: 73 MOTION for Extension of Time to Complete Discovery Unopposed, to MAG/JUDGE L. PATRICK AULD. (Blay, Debbie) (Entered: 02/18/2021)
02/25/2021 TEXT ORDER denying 73 Unopposed Motion to Extend Discovery Deadlines. Via Text Order dated 08/13/2020, the Court adopted the parties’ 61 Joint Report, thereby establishing the scheduling order for this case, including a deadline of 03/01/2021 for Plaintiffs to serve their expert reports and 05/31/2021 for the conclusion of all discovery. In 73 Unopposed Motion (filed on 02/17/2021), Plaintiffs now ask the Court to extend all unexpired scheduling order deadlines by 90+ days. As support for that request, 73 Unopposed Motion asserts that Plaintiffs have diligently pursued discovery, but nonetheless cannot meet the existing deadlines. In particular, 73 Unopposed Motion states that (A) Plaintiffs “issued discovery requests, including document requests, to [] Defendants,” (B) some Defendants have produced a large volume of documents, but “additional material remains to be provided,” and (C) “due to delays related to the creation of a protective order, [other] Defendants have not yet provided responsive documents to Plaintiffs.” That showing does not establish “good cause” within the meaning of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b)(4), because it does not reveal (A) when Plaintiffs served document requests, (B) what additional documents remain unproduced from Defendants who have produced a large volume of documents (and/or why), and (C) why the parties delayed in preparing a proposed protective order. Further, the statement, in 73 Unopposed Motion, that, “[g]iven the current status of production, Plaintiffs may be required to designate experts or secure information for additional issues,” constitutes too speculative a basis for sweeping extensions of all pending scheduling order deadlines. Finally, 73 Unopposed Motion cites the pendency of 62Motion for Leave to File an Amended Complaint and declares that its resolution “will affect the content of at least one expert’s report,” as well as Plaintiffs’ production of documents from a proposed new plaintiff (which supposedly cannot occur yet because said proposed plaintiff “is not a party to the protective order”). As to the latter matter, the Court does not see how the parties’ failure to address production of documents from non-parties either in their proposed protective order or otherwise creates good cause for an extension of scheduling order deadlines. Likewise, the Court does not view the prospect of one expert having to alter a report in an unexplained fashion depending on an unresolved motion to amend a pleading as an adequate ground for across-the-board alteration of scheduling order deadlines.
