IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Judge John L. Kane
Civil Action No. 10-cv-644-JLK
SHANNON FREEMAN, as personal representative of BRYANT HANNA, a child, and
STEPHANIE HANNA, as representative of the estate of ROBERT HANNA, deceased,
Plaintiffs,
v.
GREGORY COSTA, PA-C;
DIANE VOYTKO, M.D.;
COLORADO MOUNTAIN MEDICAL, P.C, and
JOHN DOE and JANE DOE, whose identities are currently unknown,
Defendants.

MINUTE ORDER
Judge John L. Kane ORDERS
Plaintiffs’ Corrected Motion to Extend and Modify Discovery Limitations in Stipulated
Discovery and Scheduling Order (Doc. 29) is GRANTED in limited part as follows:
Tthe discovery cut off date for non-expert depositions is extended to by one month (plus
four days) to June 30, 2011. The discovery cut off date to complete expert depositions is
extended 90 days to August 26, 2011. The dispositive motion cut-off date is extended to
September 28, 2011.
Plaintiffs’ request to increase the presumptive limits for depositions for not previously
designated specially retained experts from 10 to 15 is DENIED. Depositions for any such
additional witness or retained expert will require a discrete motion establishing good cause for
the request. The presumptive limit on the number of depositions of previously designated
experts is modified, but only to the extent necessary that permits the parties to depose any and all
retained experts. Leave to take additional designated (but not retained) expert depositions may
granted for good cause shown in a similar discrete motion for relief.
The Court expects counsel to work diligently to complete discovery in this case and to
extend to each other all professional courtesies necessary to that work.
