On October 28, 2013, Plaintiff and Defendants Hat World, Inc. and Genesco, Inc., filed a joint

14 letter regarding Angela Dunn’s deposition, which Plaintiff had noticed on October 16, 2013 for
15 October 21, 2013. Dkt. No. 56. As the parties note in their letter, Judge Hamilton extended the fact
16 discovery cutoff to October 21, 2013. Dkt. No. 43. The fact that Plaintiff noticed Ms. Dunn’s
17 deposition for October 21 – the cutoff date – and Ms. Dunn was unable to appear for the deposition,
18 presents a case management issue regarding the discovery cutoff, which Judge Hamilton has already
19 addressed and which the undersigned lacks authority to modify.1 Accordingly, the undersigned
20 denies any relief sought in the joint letter.
21

IT IS SO ORDERED.
