PARTIES’ JOINT MOTION TO EXTEND
DISCOVERY DEADLINE AND OTHER TRACKING ORDER DEADLINES
NOW COME the Parties, by and through their attorneys, and jointly move the Court to
extend the discovery deadline to March 31, 2019, and all other tracking order deadlines
accordingly.
As grounds for this Motion, the Parties state the following:
Q) Discovery has been extended previously duc to the health problems described by
Defendant John F. O’Brien (“Mr. O’Brien”). Additionally, the parties have
cooperatively refrained from the completion of depositions because Mr. O’Brien’s
physician has opined that Mr. O’Brien was physically unable to attend not only
his own deposition but also the depositions of other witnesses.
Q) Counsel for the parties have conferred on several occasions to try to work out an
arrangement by which depositions can be completed. Mr. O’Brien’s counsel
served a Motion for a Protective Order, which was opposed by Plaintiff’s counsel.
That motion was not filed because, in the interim, Mr. O’Brien’s health has
apparently improved to the point where he will be able to attend depositions. In

that regard, Mr. O’Brien’s counsel has informed Plaintiffs counsel that Mr.
O’Brien will be ready to attend depositions in January
3) Given Mr. O’Brien’s recovery and his ability to attend depositions beginning in
January, the parties respectfully request that the discovery deadline be extended to
March 31 2019, and that the other tracking order deadlines be extended
accordingly. This extension will give the parties time to complete the necessary
depositions
@) The requested extension is jointly requested and will therefore not prejudice the
rights of the parties. No trial date has been set for this Action.
WHEREFORE, the Parties respectfully request that the Court (1) extend the discovery
deadline to March 31, 2019; and (2) extend the other tracking order deadlines accordingly.
