Rommel Carlos v. Jaguar Land Rover North America

Summary

This is a scheduling order issued by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California in Rommel Carlos v. Jaguar Land Rover North America, Case No. 2:25-cv-01504-DJC-CSK. It establishes discovery, dispositive-motion, pretrial, and jury-trial deadlines, and sets procedures for modifying the schedule.

Holdings

1. The scheduling order becomes final absent objections filed within fourteen days and may thereafter be modified only by leave of court upon a showing of good cause; party stipulation alone is ineffective.
2. Discovery matters not implicating the case schedule or sealing or redaction associated with dispositive motions are referred to the assigned magistrate judge, whose written ruling is subject to modification by the district judge only when clearly erroneous or contrary to law.
3. No further joinder of parties or amendments to pleadings is permitted without leave of court upon a showing of good cause.

Questions Presented

1. What schedule and case-management procedures should govern service, joinder, amendment of pleadings, discovery, motions, pretrial proceedings, and trial?
2. Under what circumstances may the parties modify the scheduling order or obtain extensions of its deadlines?
3. What standard governs district-judge review of magistrate-judge rulings on referred discovery matters?
