upon Defendant and have noticed the deposition of Defendant. Defendant served

deposition of Defendant and to confer regarding certain discovery matters.

17

Pursuant to LR 26-4(c), this request for extension of deadlines is made

18

specifically in this fee-shifting matter since the taking of a deposition is a significant

19

expense. The Parties have run into limitations based on the availability of

23

dispositive motions shall be April 6, 2018; and (3) the last date to file the proposed

24

joint pretrial order shall be May 7, 2018.

28

order as described in the proposed timeline above.
