On December 23, 2013, the Court issued an order setting trial and discovery deadlines in this

18

case. (Doc. 21). A discovery dispute arose and on April 29, 2014, the Court held an informal

19

discovery conference. During the discussion with counsel the parties argued as to whether Plaintiff’s

20

interrogatories as phrased exceeded the numerical limit on interrogatories permitted under Federal

21

Rule of Civil Procedure 33. Finding that a good faith dispute had arisen as to the interpretation of

22

discovery, the Court orally agreed to amend the scheduling order.

23
24

Accordingly, the Court, having considered the arguments of counsel at the informal discovery
conference, finds that good cause exists to continue the discovery deadlines to the following dates:

25

1.

Non-Expert Discovery Cutoff:

June 15, 2014

26

2.

Expert Disclosures:

July 1, 2014

3.

Rebuttal Expert Disclosures:
