Plaintiff Lino Murillo ("Murillo"), Defendant Brendan Michael

Goad ("Goad"), and Defendant Corporation of the Presiding Bishop of The

The deadline to complete discovery in this case is July 31,

Pursuant to a notice of deposition and subpoena dated

2

June 21, 2017, Goad scheduled the deposition of plaintiff's expert Stan V.

3

Smith, Ph.D. of Chicago, Illinois, to take place in Chicago on July 12, 2017, a

4

date provided by Dr. Smith and agreed upon by the Parties.
3.

5

Dr. Smith's office notified Murillo's counsel on July 10,

6

2017 that Dr. Smith was called to testify in another state on July 12, 2017, and

7

thus would be unavailable that day for his deposition in this case. Dr.

8

Smith's office further notified Murillo's counsel that Dr. Smith's next

9

available date for deposition is August 10, 2017. Accordingly, the Parties

This stipulation requests a singular exception to take discovery beyond the

July 31, 2017 discovery cutoff, and does not extend or otherwise impact that

or any other deadline in this case. There is good cause to grant this

stipulation given Dr. Smith's late cancellation and the parties' good faith
