Having considered the papers filed in support of and in opposition, if any, to the motion to shorten
time, and good cause appearing, the Court rules as follows:

24

The Court finds: (1) the underlying motion in limine presents a single, discrete issue that can be

25

briefed quickly and easily; (2) with the expert discovery cutoff date of September 30, 2011 fast

26

approaching, Plaintiff needs a quick decision on its motion in limine so that, if the motion in limine is

27

granted, Plaintiff will be able to avoid the time and expense of taking David Hoexter’s deposition; and

28

(3) shortening time as requested will not prejudice the parties or adversely affect the case schedule.
