Fifteen Twenty-One Second Avenue Condominium Association v. Viracon LLC, et al.

Summary

The United States District Court for the Western District of Washington confirms a previously granted 90-day continuance of the pretrial and trial deadlines and denies further modification of the scheduling order. The court also declines to impose sanctions, re-notes all currently pending motions to December 15, 2025, and directs the parties to refrain from filing further motions until the court decides the cross-motions for summary judgment.

Holdings

1. Good cause supported continuing the trial and pretrial deadlines for 90 days because the court needed uninterrupted time to resolve the numerous pending motions and supplemental briefing.
2. The court declined to make any further modification to the scheduling order and left the order granting the 90-day continuance in effect.
3. Sanctions were unwarranted under the circumstances presented, so Plaintiff's request for sanctions was denied.

Questions Presented

1. Whether good cause supported continuing the pretrial and trial deadlines for 90 days.
2. Whether the scheduling order should be modified again to shorten or otherwise alter the continuance.
3. Whether Defendants should be sanctioned for their handling of the continuance motion.
4. How the pending motions should be re-noted in light of the completed briefing.
