Case No.: 2:12-cv-00239-KJD-RJJ
MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
TO FILE PROPOSED DISCOVERY
PLAN AND SCHEDULING ORDER
(First Extension Request)

Defendants.

The Plaintiff, Slep-Tone Entertainment Corporation, by its undersigned

22

counsel, hereby moves the Court pursuant to Local Rule 6-1 for an extension of

23

time for the parties to file their proposed discovery plan and scheduling order. In

24

support of the motion, the Plaintiff shows the Court as follows:

25

1.

In a minute order in chambers on June 5, 2012 (Doc. 76), the Court

26

noted that the parties had failed to file a proposed Discovery Plan and Scheduling

27

Order within the provisions of Local Rule 26-1, and indicated an intention to enter a

28

show-cause order if the parties had not complied with Local Rule 26-1 before June

2.

2

Although the Plaintiff’s lead counsel at the time the order was entered,

3

Donna Boris, apparently commenced discussions with counsel of record for the

4

Defendants, the Plaintiff terminated Ms. Boris as its attorney before those

5

discussions were completed.1
3.

6

The Plaintiff’s new undersigned counsel, James M. Harrington, re-

7

initiated discussions with the Defendants’ counsel of record on June 18 following

8

his admission pro hac vice, but he has been unable to speak directly with any of the

9

counsel of record and has not received from Ms. Boris any information about her

10

discussions with the Defendants’ counsel.
4.

11

In the view of the Plaintiff’s new counsel, the failure to file a proposed

12

Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order is principally an issue of logistics and a short

13

timetable, not of deep-seated disagreement, and that the parties will be able to come

14

quickly to an agreement on a plan in short order. The Plaintiff is agreeable with the

15

dates and other provisions in the proposed order (Doc. 79) filed unilaterally with

16

the Court by Café Moda and other Defendants on June 13, 2012.
5.

17

It is respectfully submitted that good cause exists for a two-week

18

extension of time, to July 3, 2012, for the parties to file their proposed Discovery

19

Plan and Scheduling Order.
