Plaintiff incorrectly asserts that the Court “order[ed] Plaintiff to appear at Defendant’s offices at
1900 Sixteenth Street, Denver, Colorado, on August 7, 2015.” Rather, the Court simply ordered,
To accommodate the Plaintiff’s travel schedule, the Court will grant the Defendant’s

extended time period, the Plaintiff shall cooperate with defense counsel to schedule
a date and time for Plaintiff’s deposition.
