Defendant Linda Barringer on November 16, 2015, and the deposition of
Defendant Jerold W. Barringer, individually and as co- Trustee of the
Kelbar Associates Trust, on November 17, 2015. Opinion entered October
29, 2015 (d/e 45) (Opinion). The Court set each deposition for seven hours
in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(d)(1). The United

taken on November 17, 2015. The United States indicates that the court
reporting facility and counsel for the United States both are not available on

deposition of Defendant Jerold W. Barringer, individually and as coTrustee of the Kelbar Associates Trust, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

to further the resolution of this matter.

Opinion entered October 29, 2015 (d/e 45) is modified as follows:
