22

2.

Plaintiff Colleen Stewart’s deposition was taken on July 24, 2018, but

23

not completed. A property inspection also took place on that date but was not

24

completed. The parties ultimately agreed to schedule the completion of the

deposition and the property inspection for October 10th.

26

However, Ms. Stewart was hospitalized with chest pains in late

27

September 2018. Due to her health issues her deposition has not been completed.

informed that Plaintiff must be present to access the premises. In order to

accommodate the scheduling of the above matters the parties agree to an

3

approximate one-month continuance of the fact discovery cutoff.

The parties further stipulate that the deadline to designate expert

5

witnesses be continued from December 7, 2018 to January 7, 2019, and the

One other continuance was requested and granted, but prior to Ms.
No other dates will be affected by continuing the fact discovery cutoff

and expert designation cutoffs.
7.

12

Good cause exists for extending the fact discovery deadline to

13

December 10, 2018, to accommodate the scheduling of Plaintiff’s continued

14

deposition when her health permits, and for extending the expert designation to

15

January 7, 2019, and supplemental expert designation to January 28, 2019.
