The trial court erred by requiring plaintiff to show
"exceptional circumstances" for a discovery extension because
the court had not scheduled the matter for arbitration or trial;
however, the court's order denying the discovery extension and
dismissing plaintiffs' complaint with prejudice is affirmed
because plaintiffs failed to show "good cause" to extend the
time for discovery, as required by Rule 4:24-1(c).
