WITNESSES AND CLOSE OF

Plaintiff Tyrone Watson (“plaintiff”) and defendant Henry M.

WHEREAS, this case’s present October 26, 2007 scheduling

order contains the following deadlines: (1) expert disclosure -

January 14, 2008; (2) non-expert discovery cutoff - January 16,

2008; (3) supplemental expert disclosure - February 11, 2008; and

(4) expert discovery cutoff - March 3, 2008.(Doc. 74)

WHEREAS, this case originated as an multiple plaintiff case

of employment discrimination which has since developed an immense

documentary record.

WHEREAS, pursuant to two court rulings in November and

December 2007, only plaintiff Tyrone Watson remains as a

plaintiff. For purposes of this stipulation, these rulings

enabled the parties to focus their remaining discovery efforts on

plaintiff Watson’s remaining claims. (Doc. 78, Doc. 87)

WHEREAS, the attorneys for the litigants in this matter have

diligently pursued discovery in this matter, both before and

subsequent to the above court rulings. In fact, they have either

started or completed the depositions of four witnesses within the

past ten days.

WHEREAS, on January 4, 2008, the parties stipulated to

expand plaintiff’s ten-deposition limit by an additional three

depositions, and this stipulation was endorsed by way of formal

order on January 8, 2008. (Doc. 92).

WHEREAS, despite both parties’ diligence and in light of

their respective impacted calendars, neither party will be able

to complete remaining necessary depositions by today’s discovery

cutoff date, which in turn necessitates a discovery cutoff

extension. This is also due in part to limited witness and party

availability during the recent holiday period.

the above four litigation deadlines be extended approximately
