No. 60) HAYNES, an individual; and SCOTT FOTH, an individual, Defendants. 17 18 Currently before the Court is the parties’ Stipulation Re Extension of Discovery Cut Off. (Doc. No. 60.) According to the stipulation, the parties tentatively have scheduled a mediation on October 2, 2020, and they seek to continue the non-expert discovery deadline from October 16, 2020 to February 16, 2021. (Id.) The stipulation is therefore construed as a request to modify the Scheduling Order in this case pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b)(4). A scheduling order may be modified only for good cause. Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4). Settlement discussions, in and of themselves, are not good cause to modify a scheduling order.
