III.

REASONS WHY DISCOVERY SHOULD BE EXTENDED

2

Plaintiff counsel extensive trial schedule, with trial January through March 2023, caused

3

delayed discovery and deposition scheduling. New counsel, Cliff Marcek recently took overhandling

4

the case for Plaintiff at Bertoldo Carter Smith & Cullen on April 27, 2023. Additionally, the parties

5

wish to engage in resolution discussions, including, but not limited to, the scheduling of private

6

mediation. The parties wish to avoid unnecessary costs, fees and expenses in the interest of potential

7

resolution. The additional time will allow for the parties to schedule private mediation, and if

8

unsuccessful, conduct the remaining discovery, including depositions.

9

PROPOSED SCHEDULE FOR COMPLETING REMAINING DISCOVERY

10

Plaintiff and Defendant have agreed to extend the current discovery deadline herein for sixty

11

(60) days to complete the remaining discovery as outlined above. If approved, the new discovery
