                                                                                      CLERK/MAGISTRATE



                      JOINT MOTION TO EXTEND TRACKING ORDER DEADLINES


                  Now come the parties in the above-referenced matter and hereby request this Honorable

        Court to extend the tracking order deadlines in the above matter for six (6) months from the date

        of this Court’s order.

    I             As grounds therefore, the parties state the following:

                  The discovery deadline under the current tracking order was August 14, 2017.

                  The parties in this action have been working diligently to complete written discovery and

        depositions within the tracking order deadline.

                  The Third Amended Standing Order 1-88 of the Superior Court specifically allows for

         amendments to the scheduling orders. Section D states that “[t]his Standing Order anticipates that



         674073v. 1
N   -




there will be instances when the designation of a case to a particular track is inappropriate or the

tracking deadlines cannot reasonably be met. The court recognizes that there are cases which by

their very nature require special tracking deadlines, and the system is sufficiently flexible to

accommodate these cases” upon motion and for good cause shown. Superior Court Standing Order

1-88, Section D (effective September 1, 2017).      The parties respectfully submit that the current

matter requires such accommodation and that good cause exists to extend the tracking order

deadlines.

        This is the parties’ first request for an extension of the tracking order deadlines.

        The parties believe a six-month extension of the tracking order deadlines from the date of

this Court’s order would be an appropriate time frame to conduct the necessary pre-trial discovery

required in this case.

        None of the parties will be prejudiced by the extension of the tracking order deadlines in

this case since a trial date has not been set.

        WHEREFORE,           the parties respectfully request that this Honorable Court extend the

tracking order deadlines for six (6) months from the date of this Court’s order.
