5

against Travata and Montage at Summerlin Centre Homeowners' Association, and an injunction claim

6

against SFR. (ECF No. 1.)

2.

Valley Court Trust v Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Ninth Cir. Case No. 15-15233 on September 27, 2016.

11

(ECF No. 45.) The case remained stayed until November 7, 2017. (ECF No. 53.)

12

4.

The parties subsequently filed an amended discovery plan and scheduling order on

13

November 30, 2017, setting a March 22, 2018 discovery cut-off and April 23, 2018 dispositive

14

motions deadline. (ECF No. 55.) The Court approved the amended discovery plan. (ECF No. 55.)

15

5.

SFR noticed BANA's deposition on January 29, 2018. (ECF No. 59-1 at 13.) BANA

16

initially disputed seven of the thirteen noticed topics. The parties resolved their dispute regarding

17

four, and BANA moved for a protective order regarding the remaining three on February 26, 2018.

18

(ECF No. 59.) The briefing likely will not be completed before March 19, 2018. SFR has agreed to

19

hold BANA's deposition in abeyance pending a ruling.

20

6.

To allow time for the Court to rule on BANA's motion for protective order, ECF No.

21

59, SFR to complete BANA's deposition after the Court makes its ruling, and to avoid Rule 56(d)

22

motions, the parties stipulate to extending the dispositive motions deadline until seventy five (75) days

23

from the date the Court enters an order on BANA's motion for protective order, ECF No. 59. The

24

parties further stipulate SFR shall have forty five (45) days to complete BANA's deposition after the

25

Court enters an order. The parties select these deadlines to allow sufficient time to coordinate a

26

deposition after the Court rules and obtain transcripts before filing dispositive motions.

27
28

7.

The parties do not file this stipulation with the intent to delay, but instead to streamline

the anticipated summary judgment briefing and avoid Rule 56(d) motions.
