Autumn White v. Costco Wholesale Corporation

Summary

The United States District Court for the District of Nevada considered the parties’ stipulation to extend case management deadlines by 90 days. The court found that the parties had not shown good cause or sufficient diligence to justify the requested extension, particularly because little discovery had occurred. As a one-time courtesy, the court granted a 30-day extension and reset the case management deadlines.

Holdings

1. The parties did not establish good cause for the requested 90-day extension because they failed to show that the deadlines could not reasonably be met despite diligent efforts.
2. The court granted a 30-day extension of the case management deadlines as a one-time courtesy, while denying the requested extension to the extent it sought 90 days.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the parties established good cause under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b)(4) and Local Rule 26-3 to extend the case management deadlines by 90 days.
2. Whether the court should grant a lesser extension despite the parties' failure to demonstrate adequate discovery diligence.
