Plaintiffs,

ORDER EXTENDING THE FACT
DISCOVERY DEADLINE FOR THE
LIMITED PURPOSE OF TAKING
CERTAIN FACT DEPOSITIONS

Defendants.

This matter is before the Court on Plaintiffs’ Motion to Compel Deposition
Testimony and Motion to Amend the Pretrial Scheduling Order. The Court finds good
cause to amend the Scheduling Order.
Based on the parties’ stipulation on the record following oral argument on the
motion, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the fact discovery deadline is extended to
August 19, 2019 to permit the taking of the following depositions before the expiration
of this deadline: Defendant Huy Ngoc Nguyen, D.C.; Bac Nguyen; Quincy Chettupally;
and Tryphena Chettupally. Counsel agreed on the record to work together to coordinate
the scheduling of these depositions. If, for some reason, there are concerns regarding the
scheduling of these depositions, Plaintiffs’ counsel must promptly inform the Court. The
Court very much appreciates counsels’ efforts to resolve the pending motion in a

stipulated agreement. Based on the parties’ stipulation, Plaintiffs’ Motion to Compel and
to Amend Pretrial Scheduling Order (Doc. No. 123) is DENIED as moot.
To the extent Defendant Huy Ngoc Nguyen seeks a protective order regarding the
topics to be covered at his deposition, Defendant Nguyen must bring his motion no later
than 30 days prior to the deposition.
Non-dispositive motions relating to the above depositions must be filed, served
and HEARD no later than August 23, 2019. All other applicable deadlines and
requirements set forth in the Pretrial Scheduling Order (Doc. No. 56), remain in full force
and effect.
