Discovery End Date Upon Restoration
When there is but a single defendant, a case that is dismissed (e.g., for failure to provide discovery) and later restored, the case will be returned to the calendar with the same discovery end date it had prior to the dismissal (unless the restoration order directs otherwise), even if that discovery end date has passed. The judge may extend the discovery end date in the restoration order, or the parties may seek a discovery end date extension by motion based on exceptional circumstances. In any event, the court should not penalize the non -delinquent party by foreclosing further discovery.
