Dear Ms. Sakamoto:
Our office represents defendant Acts Revival Center in the matter United States of America v. Acts
Revival Center.
We have a discovery cut-off of October 31. I am wondering if the parties can simply agree between
themselves to take a deposition past this date or do we need an order from Judge Koh to do this?
Thank you,
-Leila Sockolov
