(FOURTH REQUEST)

NAV-LVH, LLC dba WESTGATE LAS

Pursuant to Local Civil Rule 6-1(a), Defendant NAV-LVH LLC dba Westgate Las Vegas
Resort & Casino (“Defendant”) and Plaintiff Ken Kachur (“Plaintiff”), by and through their
respective counsel of record, hereby stipulate as follows:
This request is being made timely in accordance with LR 26-4 and the prior scheduling
Order, which provides that requests for further discovery extensions must be made no later than

27

twenty-one (21) days before the existing discovery cut-off date, June 4, 2018. This is the fourth

28

request for an extension.

1
34807511.1

1

This stipulation is made and based upon the following factors.

2

To date, the parties have both made their initial disclosures to the other side. Defendant has

3

propounded written discovery to Plaintiff, to which Plaintiff has responded. Plaintiff has also

4

propounded written discovery to Defendant, which has been responded to. In addition, the parties

5

have conducted some depositions and are in the process of locating a number of witnesses who are

6

no longer employed by Defendant. Additionally, a key witness has moved to California and it has

7
8
9
10

been difficult to coordinate a suitable date for her deposition. Further, counsel for both parties
have other cases before this Court, which involve overlapping witnesses to some extent and, thus,
the attorneys are coordinating the scheduling of the depositions in such cases to minimize the
burden on the witnesses and travel for out-of-state counsel. Lastly, because of the nature of this

11
12
13
14

case, a deposition of Plaintiff’s doctor is required and the scheduling of this deposition has been
continually hampered as a result of the doctor’s busy schedule. This deposition is currently in the
process of being scheduled, and the parties anticipate it will be scheduled within two weeks.
The parties and their attorneys have diligently worked to complete discovery as

15
16

expediently as possible and will continue to try to complete the remaining discovery in as

17

expedient a manner as possible.
Given the above circumstances, the parties request that the discovery period be extended as

1

In accordance with LR 26-4 the parties understand that any further requests for discovery

2

extensions must be made no later than twenty-one (21) days before the newly-proposed discovery

3

cut-off date of July 19, 2018 or no later than twenty-one (21) days before any other deadline

4

sought to be extended.
