MEMORANDUM
EDUARDO C. ROBRENO, District Judge.
This case involves a fatal shooting by a Philadelphia Police Officer. The motions at hand are the result of a lack of diligence by Plaintiffs former counsel; he failed to comply with several Court-ordered deadlines. When Plaintiff learned of his errors, she retained new counsel, who now seeks an extension of time to complete discovery and leave to amend to the Complaint. For the reasons that follow, the Court will deny both motions and dismiss all but one of Plaintiffs claims.
