What happened
Bioscience Advisors, Inc. v. United States Securities and Exchange Commission involved the parties’ request to change deadlines after the court allowed Bioscience Advisors to amend one claim.
The parties asked for more time to file their joint case-management statement and to move the case-management conference because the amended complaint could affect possible motions and discovery issues.
Judge Haywood S. Gilliam, Jr. approved the request, extending the statement deadline to March 8, 2022, and continuing the conference to March 15, 2022, at 2:00 p.m.

- Haywood Gilliam
- Feb. 22, 2022
Background
The parties jointly asked the court to extend the deadline for filing their joint case-management conference statement and to continue the case-management conference. A prior court order had set the statement deadline for February 22, 2022, and the conference for March 1, 2022. That order also allowed the plaintiff to amend its fourth cause of action by March 1, 2022.
The parties stated that the amended complaint could affect issues addressed in the case-management statement and conference. They noted that the defendants might file a renewed motion to dismiss or might seek summary judgment after producing the administrative record. The plaintiff indicated that it intended to pursue discovery, while the defendants disputed whether discovery was appropriate.
Ruling
The court approved the stipulation. Judge Haywood S. Gilliam, Jr. ordered that the parties’ deadline to file the joint case-management conference statement was extended to March 8, 2022. He also continued the case-management conference from March 1, 2022, to March 15, 2022, at 2:00 p.m. The order did not decide the potential motions, discovery dispute, or merits of the case.
