No. 3:11-0522
Judge Nixon/Brown
Jury Demand

O R D E R
A telephone conference was held with the parties in this
matter at their request on March 27, 2014. The parties have run
into difficulties in scheduling the three remaining depositions in
this case. Unfortunately, the parties waited too long to get the
Magistrate Judge involved in resolution and essentially wasted a
month

bickering

about

the

matter.

As

the

Magistrate

Judge

previously pointed out in Docket Entries 43 and 45, this case was
filed in June 2011, and is almost three years old. While some of
the delay cannot be attributed to either party, it still remains
that the case needs to be completed.
Accordingly, the deposition of Ms. Rice will be taken on
April 8, 2014; the deposition of Ms. Davis will be taken on April
14, 2014; and the deposition of the Plaintiff will be taken on
April 23, 2014. All depositions, absent agreement of the parties to
a different time, will start at 9:00 a.m. local time.

The current Secretary of Defense is The Honorable Chuck Hagel.

The deadlines for dispositive motions and the trial date
will remain as previously set (Docket Entry 43).
It is so ORDERED.
