Gonzalez v. Amazon.com Services, LLC

Summary

The United States District Court for the Eastern District of California granted in part the parties’ stipulated request to continue scheduling deadlines in Gonzalez v. Amazon.com Services, LLC. The court amended the scheduling order, continued the mid-discovery status conference and motion deadlines, and vacated the previously scheduled conference date, while warning that further extensions were unlikely absent extraordinary circumstances.

Holdings

1. The parties did not demonstrate good cause for the requested 90-day continuance, but the circumstances warranted a shorter 45-day extension.
2. The scheduling order was amended to extend the specified discovery, disclosure, motion, pretrial, and trial deadlines by approximately 45 days, and the mid-discovery status conference and motion hearings were continued.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the parties demonstrated good cause for a 90-day continuance of the scheduling-order deadlines.
2. Whether the court should amend the scheduling order and continue the related status-conference, motion-filing, and motion-hearing dates.
