UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
CHERISHA LOVEJOY, an individual,
on behalf of herself and all others
similarly situated,
Plaintiff,
v.
TRANSDEV SERVICES, INC.,
Defendants.
Case No.: 23-cv-00380-AJB-MMP
ORDER GRANTING JOINT
MOTION TO FURTHER AMEND
SCHEDULING ORDER AND OTHER
PRE-TRIAL PROCEEDINGS
[ECF No. 118]
Before the Court is the parties’ Joint Motion to Further Amend Scheduling Order
and Other Pre-trial Proceedings. ECF No. 118. The parties request the Court amend the
case management schedule because “certain expert discovery [] cannot be accomplished
prior to the Court’s Order to Show Cause hearing” and the pending Motion to Stay Case.
Id. at 3. However, the parties should have notified the Court in advance of the opening
expert reports deadline that an extension was required, rather than the date of the deadline
itself. The parties are admonished in the future they must notify the Court before any
deadline if circumstances arise which necessitate a date extension. See Judge Pettit’s Civil
Case 3:23-cv-00380-AJB-MMP Document 121 Filed 12/12/25 PageID.<pageID>

Chambers Rule IX(A). Alternatively, the parties propose the remaining scheduling order
dates be vacated and reset following a ruling on the Order to Show Cause and Motion to
Stay. ECF No. 118 at 5.
As requested by the parties and for good cause, the Court GRANTS the joint motion
and VACATES all remaining scheduling order deadlines. The Court VACATES the, now
past, opening expert reports deadline on December 9, 2025.
No later than five days after the Court rules on the Motion to Stay, the parties shall
contact the Court, via efile_Pettit@casd.uscourts.gov, with three times and dates the parties
are jointly available for a Case Management Conference. The Court will then set a Case
Management Conference to issue a new Scheduling Order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: December 12, 2025 	_____________________________________________
