In Rhode-NYC v. Rhodedeodato, Judge Hellerstein granted the joint motion to extend discovery, depositions, and the case-management conference deadlines.
The schedule for Rhode-NYC, LLC, Hailey Rhode Bieber, Rhodedeodato Corp., and HRBeauty, LLC was changed, including the deadlines for fact discovery and depositions and the date of the case-management conference.
What happened
Rhode-NYC, LLC v. Rhodedeodato Corp., et al. involved the parties’ joint request to change the case schedule so they could conduct mediation and, if necessary, take depositions afterward.
The parties asked to move the fact-discovery deadline and deposition deadline from March 7, 2023, to May 25, 2023. They also asked to move the case-management conference concerning possible dispositive motions from March 24 to June 16, 2023, or another convenient date.
Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein granted the request and adopted the proposed dates. The court therefore set May 25, 2023, as the new deadline for completing depositions and fact discovery, and June 16, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. for the case-management conference, unless the court selected another convenient time.

Background
Rhode-NYC, LLC was the plaintiff and counter-defendant. Hailey Rhode Bieber, Rhodedeodato Corp., and HRBeauty, LLC were identified as defendants and counter-plaintiffs. The parties jointly moved to modify the scheduling order entered on November 2, 2022.
The parties said they were planning an in-person formal mediation for April 5, 2023. They requested additional time because of the participants’ and potential mediators’ schedules and because depositions would need to occur after mediation if mediation did not resolve the case. They also stated that they had diligently pursued discovery and had previously received one extension of the discovery schedule.
Requested Schedule
The parties asked the court to change these deadlines:
- Completion of depositions under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 30 and 32: from March 7, 2023, to May 25, 2023. - Close of fact discovery: from March 7, 2023, to May 25, 2023. - Case-management conference concerning anticipated dispositive motions for which pre-motion letters are filed: from March 24, 2023, at 10:00 a.m., to June 16, 2023, at 10:00 a.m., or another date and time convenient for the court.
Court’s Ruling
The court granted the joint motion to modify the scheduling order and adopted the proposed dates. The order changed the deposition and fact-discovery deadlines to May 25, 2023, and set the case-management conference for June 16, 2023, at 10:00 a.m., subject to the court choosing another convenient date and time. This was a scheduling ruling and did not decide the parties’ underlying claims or counterclaims.
