Reasons for Requested Extension 17 The parties would like an additional 30 days in order to finish the listed depositions in this 18 case. This case involves a slip and fall in the dining area of a Cardenas Market. In his interrogatory 19 responses, Plaintiff stated that he was experiencing daily lower back pain. On February 8, 2023, 20 Plaintiff’s counsel provided Cardenas’ insurer with medical records in a demand letter. Those 21 records revealed a November 3, 2022 appointment with Nevada Orthopedic and Spine Center 22 stating that Plaintiff was “miserable,” that conservative care did not help much and that he was a 23 candidate for an anterior fusion at L5-S1. 24 The Court entered a discovery order on September 21, 20231 (originally, on September 8, 25 2023, the parties requested a special scheduling order because they wanted more time to see if 26 Plaintiff gets his recommended surgery.)2 The parties have been conducting discovery in earnest, 27 28 1 2 ECF No. 12 ECF No. 8. -2297419274v.1 1 first exchanging written discovery, conducting a Rule 35 examination of Plaintiff, conducting a site 2 inspection of the Cardenas store and taking fact witness depositions. Plaintiff has still considering 3 getting the fusion surgery though. This has led to a delay in taking expert depositions, because the 4 parties wanted to see if there would be finality on this issue before the experts were asked to testify 5 on the record about their opinions. 6 Cardenas will be taking Plaintiff’s deposition on June 6, 2024 regarding these issues. There 7 is still one fact witness deposition remaining, as well as expert depositions. The parties have 8 attempted to schedule all of these depositions prior to the close of discovery. Plaintiff has set the 9 deposition of Dr. David Lee for June 10, 2024 and Dr. Saman Hazany for June 20, 2024. However, 10 Cardenas’ pain management expert could not be available on a date that coincides with counsel’s 11 availability until July 16, 2024. The parties are also still working on finding dates for Plaintiff’s 12 safety expert John Peterson, Cardenas’ 30(b)(6) witness, percipient witness Pedro Caballero and 13 Cardenas’ life care plan rebuttal expert. Defense counsel has limited availability in June due to 14 depositions that cannot be moved because the case is culminating in a private mediation occurring 15 July 8 (JAMS No. 5260000226). The parties have made shown a good faith effort to finish these 16 depositions before the June 21 deadline, but availability of witnesses and counsel does not make 17 finishing all of them before the deadline feasible. Thus the parties are requesting a reasonable 30- 18 day extension to finish the depositions in this case. 19 IV.
