11 party depositions, and specifically the deposition of Chase, whose designated
12 witness who underwent significant surgery in December and from which she will
13 not have recuperated until February 2018. The parties have conferred and agree
14 that this brief extension is the most reasonable way to complete discovery in this
15 case, including so that Chase’s designated witness has sufficient time to attend to
16 necessary medical treatment.
This is the parties’ second request for an extension to the scheduling order
17
18 deadlines, which were submitted in compliance with LR 26-1. The parties make
19 this request in good faith and not for purposes of delay.
20 A.
Discovery Completed to Date
21
To date, Chase has served the following discovery: initial disclosures; initial
22 expert disclosure; first set of requests for production and interrogatories to SFR;
23 notice of Rule 30(b)(6) deposition of SFR; first set of requests for production and
24 interrogatories to Diamond Creek; and notice of Rule 30(b)(6) deposition of Diamond
25 Creek.
To date, SFR has served the following discovery: initial disclosures; first set

Although Cross-Defendant Siu Ming Pang has been served in this case, (see ECF
28 No. 38), Mr. Pang has not otherwise appeared, and, therefore, this stipulation and
order is submitted without his signature.

Specific Description of Discovery that Remains to be Completed

SFR has also noticed a Rule 30(b)(6) deposition of Chase. As discussed below,
8 however, the parties seek to reschedule Chase’s to occur after the current discovery

11 Creek.
12 C.
Good Cause Exists for the Requested Extension
13
SFR has noticed Chase’s deposition for March 20, 2018, which is after the
14 current close of discovery. Chase’s Rule 30(b)(6) designee is not available until
15 March due to significant surgery that occurred in December. The parties have met
16 and conferred about rescheduling Chase’s deposition in this lawsuit to take place on
17 March 20, 2018, when the Chase designee should be recuperated from surgery and
18 able to travel to Las Vegas.
This is the parties’ second request to extend the
19 standard, 180-day discovery period in this case, and they seek the extension so that
20 Chase’s designated witness may have an opportunity to receive necessary medical
21 treatment and recover from the same.
The parties have diligently engaged in
22 discovery to date and seek this extension in good faith, and do not anticipate any
23 further extensions of the discovery deadlines.
