1

While the Parties have not filed this extension twenty-one days prior to the subject

2

deadline, the Parties stipulate that good cause exists for granting the extension. Despite the

3

Parties’ continued diligence in attempting to schedule a deposition of the Person Most

4

Knowledgeable of Westgate, the Parties have yet to be able to find a date and time that is

5

mutually available.

6

Moreover, Westgate is encountering service issues regarding a subpoena for deposition of

7

Mr. Dan’l Cook. Westgate is planning to seek service by alternative methods and require

8

additional time to complete this process.
The Parties represent to this Court that they have been in almost constant contact

The Parties are requesting this extension to ensure that Plaintiff and Defendants have
ample time to schedule depositions of Westgate’s person most knowledgeable and Dan’l Cook, in
addition to any other relevant depositions that the parties choose to conduct. The Parties have
been diligently attempting to calendar certain depositions, but due to numerous scheduling
conflicts, the parties are requesting an extension to ensure all needed discovery is completed.

1

This is the Parties’ second joint request for an extension of the discovery deadline dates.

2

The requested extension is not made to delay this matter, but made in the spirit of good faith by

3

both parties to ensure all needed discovery is conducted before proceeding to dispositive motions

4

and to trial. As stated above, the Parties have been in almost constant communication regarding

5

the scheduling of depositions, but due to scheduling conflicts, have not been able to establish

6

deposition dates.
Based upon the foregoing, the Parties believe there is good cause for the requested

7

extension.
