ORDER
At the request of the parties, the Court conducted a telephone
conference with counsel to resolve a dispute that had arisen during
plaintiff's deposition on March 25, 2013. Counsel revealed that Wells Fargo
Bank had made recordings of some of plaintiff's conversations with its
representatives pertaining to the events at issue in this case. Plaintiff's
counsel objected to any efforts by defense counsel to have plaintiff confirm
whether or not she recognized her voice on those recordings. The Court
ruled that the inquiry was appropriate and directed the deposition to
proceed.

Because there is a history of obstructionism in this litigation, see doc.
41, the Court sua sponte and pointedly instructed defense counsel to insure
that the defendants had disclosed all recordings of plaintiff's conversations
with any of their representatives. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(g).
The Court amends its prior scheduling order to GRANT the parties'
joint request that discovery be extended through March 31, 2013.
SO ORDERED this ,Zay of March, 2013.
