Minute Order Order on Motion to Extend/Shorten Time
MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Magistrate Judge Elayna J. Youchah on 8/25/2026.
The Court has before it Plaintiff-Intervenor's Motion to Modify the Scheduling Order and Discovery Plan (ECF No. 113 ). A review of the Motion and attachments thereto leads the Court to conclude Defendants may believe a motion is required to obtain the relief Plaintiff-Intervenor seeks.
The parties are free to agree to an extension of discovery in the pending matter presenting in a stipulation addressing good cause for the extension requested and excusable neglect for the timing of the request. Motion practice is not required. The exchanges of the parties, which the Court reviewed, do not demonstrate a basis for denial of the extension requested other than disagreement with the form in which such requested extension is presented. While the Court agrees that an extension of discovery is not automatic based on Plaintiff-Intervenor's status as an intervenor, the form of the extension may still be in a stipulation. Overall, stipulating to short extensions of discovery is a common practice in civil litigation and should not, generally, require motion practice.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion to Modify the Scheduling Order and Discovery Plan (ECF No. 113 ) is DENIED without prejudice.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties are to meet and confer in good faith and toward finding a resolution of the extension requested by Plaintiff-Intervenor. The meet and confer must either be in person or by videoconference. Telephonic and email exchanges will not suffice to establish compliance with this Order.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if agreement cannot be reached after earnest meet and confer efforts, Plaintiff may refile her motion, which the Court will promptly consider.
