Initial extensions of the discovery period should not usually be applied for early in
the discovery process. The contemplation is that such extensions should be applied for
during the 60- day period between the court’s notice to all parties that the end of the
discovery period is approaching and the discovery end date.
This “automatic,” consensual extension is intended to be the initial extension of
discovery, in the hope that subsequent discovery extension motions might be avoided.
Accordingly, the 60-day consensual extension of discovery should precede any formal
extension motions.
