Order on Motion to Continue
TEXT ORDER: The parties have filed a joint 25 Motion to Continue. The Court identifies several problems with the motion. First, it is unclear what relief the parties seek. The Court's August 11, 2026 Text Order extended the dispositive-motion deadline to September 11, 2026, and vacated the Proposed Pretrial Order, Final Pretrial Conference, and trial dates. The parties now state that the audit underlying their previous request for an extension has not been completed, but they ask the Court to "continu[e] this matter for hearing on a date certain." No hearing is presently set. To the extent the parties seek an extension of the dispositive-motion deadline, their motion was filed on September 14, 2026, three days after that deadline expired. Under Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(1)(B), a request made after a deadline has expired requires a showing that the failure to act resulted from excusable neglect, and Civil Local Rule 6.1 provides that motions filed out of time will be denied unless denial would create substantial injustice. The parties provide no explanation for why they did not seek an extension before the September 11 deadline. Second, Civil Local Rule 6.1 requires a party seeking an extension to state the "amount of additional time requested," and this Court's Standing Order requires parties seeking to move a deadline to identify the deadline they seek to move. See Hon. Ronald L. Hanna, Civil Standing Order § V (effective Oct. 28, 2025). The parties do neither. Accordingly, the parties' 25 Motion to Continue is DENIED without prejudice. If the parties seek an extension of the dispositive-motion deadline or other scheduling relief, they may file a renewed motion identifying the specific relief requested, proposing a date certain, and addressing the requirements applicable to their untimely request. Entered by Magistrate Judge Ronald L. Hanna on 9/16/2026. (ECJ)
