NO. 2:15-cv-00543-RSL

Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4), the Parties file this Stipulated Motion Extending
Fact Discovery Deadline, and state as follows:
1.

The operative scheduling order provides that fact discovery be completed by

December 18, 2020. (Dkt. 120).

18

2.

The Parties stipulate that this deadline should be extended to January 22, 2021.

19

3.

The purpose of this extension is not to delay, but to provide an adequate amount

20

of time for both Parties to depose witnesses. The Parties have worked diligently to identify and

21

schedule witnesses for deposition, but due to the number of witnesses, the holidays, and the

22

schedules of the witnesses and counsel, it is not possible to complete all depositions before the

23

December 18, 2020 deadline.
