Road Safety Services, Inc. v. Sun Valley Markings, LLC, Joshua A. Verdoni, Chris Brandt, Blair Jones, and XYZ Corporation, Inc.

Summary

The United States District Court for the District of Nebraska grants in part and denies in part Plaintiff’s motion to extend the written discovery deadline. The Court leaves the February 5, 2026 written discovery deadline unchanged but extends the deadline for motions to compel written discovery to March 23, 2026, while leaving all other progression-order deadlines unchanged.

Holdings

1. Good cause existed to modify the scheduling order by extending the deadline for filing motions to compel written discovery by thirty days.
2. The request to extend the written discovery completion deadline was denied because Plaintiff's stated need concerned resolving existing discovery disputes, and the proposed extension based on a pending motion to amend or hypothetical future discovery was premature.

Questions Presented

1. Whether good cause existed under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b)(4) to modify the scheduling order.
2. Whether the circumstances warranted extending the deadline for completing written discovery or instead warranted extending the deadline for filing motions to compel.
