-1ORDER ON STIPULATION TO EXTEND DISCOVERY DEADLINES

1

Having considered the parties’ Stipulation to Extend Discovery Deadlines (Doc.

2

32) and the grounds stated therefor, the Court finds that: 1) the inability of Defendant

3

Kappmeyer, because of a medical condition, to be deposed before the current discovery

4

deadline is reason for extending the discovery deadline for the taking of her deposition;

5

2) that the expert discover deadline shall be extended until one month after the taking of

6

Defendat Kappmeyer’s deposition; 3) that Plaintiff’s absence from the country

7

(presumed to be voluntary since not otherwise stated) is no justification for extending

8

the deadline for him to appear at his deposition; and, 4) nothing in this Order shall

9

constitute a basis for seeking delay of the dispositive motion schedule, the pretrial

10

conference or the trial in this case.

11

Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that:

12

1)

The deadline for deposing Defendant Deidre Kappmeyer is extended to

13

July 20, 2018; and

14

2)

The expert discovery deadline is extended to August 20, 2018.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
