   Order on Motion to Continue

   ELECTRONIC ORDER:

   Before the Court is the parties' Joint Motion for Continuance of Discovery, Dispositive Motions Deadlines and Trial (the "Joint Motion") (Doc. No. 36). In their Joint Motion, the parties request that the Court "grant a 5-month continuance of the trial setting[.]" Doc. No. 36 at 5 (citation modified). The parties also request that all remaining pretrial deadlines be extended by the same length of time, including the discovery and dispositive motion deadlines. Id. The parties state that good cause exists for these extensions because the quantity of electronically stored information awaiting collection and review is "substantial," and that, "[b]ased on current information and assessment by Defendant's information technology personnel, the Parties anticipate that the collection and review of this electronically stored information will require additional time beyond the current discovery deadline." Id. at 4. The parties argue that a continuance of the trial setting and other pretrial deadlines is warranted by the volume of discovery and the timeline for processing that information. See id.

   Scheduling order deadlines may be modified only upon a showing of good cause and with the judge's consent. Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4). Further, this Court's Scheduling Order (Doc. No. 22) expressly states that a motion to continue the trial setting will not be granted absent exigent circumstances and "even if the parties file an agreed motion." Doc. No. 22 at 1 (citation modified). On this briefing, the Court does not find that good cause or exigent circumstances exist for the requested extensions of the trial setting and pretrial deadlines. To start, the discovery and dispositive motion deadlines have already been extended once before. See Doc. No. 31 (Court's March 4, 2026, order granting the parties' Agreed Motion to Extend Discovery and Pretrial Deadlines (Doc. No. 30)). The Court's March 4, 2026, order also expressly warned the parties that the discovery and dispositive motion deadlines would not be extended again "absent a showing of good cause and exigent circumstances." Id. (emphasis original). The parties have had ample time to conduct discovery in this matter, and the Court does not find that "significant additional electronically stored information" gives rise to good cause or an exigent circumstance that necessitates extending all pretrial deadlines and the trial setting by 5 months. Doc. No. 36 at 4. Accordingly, for the foregoing reasons, and having carefully considered the parties' arguments, the Court DENIES the Joint Motion.
