Platte Valley’s Motion for Clarification of Magistrate’s Order Regarding

Discovery [Doc. # 161, filed 5/23/2013] (the “Motion for Clarification”).
I held a hearing on the motions this afternoon and made rulings on the record, which are
incorporated here.
IT IS ORDERED:
(1)

The Motion to Exceed Time [Doc. # 157] is GRANTED.

(2)

The Motion for Clarification [Doc. # 161] is GRANTED as follows: The

extension of the discovery cut-off was only to allow scheduling of depositions already identified
by the parties, and those largely (if not exclusively) involved expert witnesses. The deposition

of Anita Pankowski was not discussed at the hearing nor contemplated by me in connection with
extending the discovery cut-off. Accordingly, the deposition of Ms. Pankowski shall not be had.
