III.
2
REASONS WHY DISCOVERY CANNOT BE COMPLETED WITHIN THE
CURRENT SCHEDULE
parties in this case have engaged in written discovery and have attempted to resolve several
5
discovery issues that have arisen between them. Despite those efforts, the parties have reached an
6
impasse on several issues relating to the scope of discovery pending resolution of two motions that
7
are now before the Court: a motion by IGT to amend its complaint to assert causes of action for
8
breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and violations of Nevada’s Unfair
9
7455 Arroyo Crossing, Suite 22 0
Las Vegas, Nev ada 89113
As the Court is aware from the parties’ previous submissions and as outlined above, the
4
FORAN GLENNON PALANDECH PONZI & RUDLOFF PC
3
Claims Settlement Practices Act and a motion by IGT to compel discovery of documents and
10
deposition testimony from INIC. Absent a ruling from the Court on these pending motions, which
11
may impact the scope and extent of permissible discovery in this action, the parties are not able to
12
complete discovery and disclosure of expert opinions in this case under the current schedule.
13
Consequently, the parties request that the Court extend the remaining discovery deadlines,
14
beginning with the deadline for disclosure of expert witnesses, by approximately sixty (60) days,
15
as outlined below.
16
The parties agree that this extension is not made for the purposes of delay, but to allow
17
additional time for the court to decide the Motion for Leave and for the parties to complete fact
18
discovery, as necessary, before disclosing experts to ensure a just adjudication of the case on the
19
merits, and that none of them will be prejudiced by an extension.
