(ECF No. 33) 

On May 23, 2018, Plaintiff Sharp Memorial Hospital (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant 

Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Utah (“Defendant”) filed a Joint Motion for 

Determination of Discovery Dispute. (ECF No. 33.) Defendant seeks to modify the 

Scheduling Order (1) to extend the non-expert discovery deadline to permit it to conduct 

an additional Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(b)(6) deposition of Plaintiff, and (2) to 

extend the motion cut-off date to permit it to bring any motion, if necessary, resulting from 

the Rule 30(b)(6) deposition. (Id. at 2.) 

Having reviewed the Joint Motion, the Court hereby DENIES Defendant’s motion 

for the reasons argued by Plaintiff. Defendant has failed to convince the Court that good 

cause exists to modify the Scheduling Order or to allow Defendant to conduct a second
