Plaintiffs Golden Bear Management Corporation and Delta Adjusting Company and 

Defendant Certain Underwriters at Lloyd’s London, Subscribing to Policy No. 50006700119

submit the following stipulated order:

1. Plaintiffs recently changed counsel of record in this matter when their original lead 

counsel changed law firms and, due to a conflict between the new law firm and Defendant, could 

not continue to represent Plaintiffs in this action. To permit Plaintiffs time to obtain new counsel, 

the Parties stipulated to and the Court ordered an extension of the discovery deadline from June 

21, 2024 to July 26, 2024 to complete pending discovery, including various written discovery and 

three depositions. [See Dkt. #28 (Joint MD-Litigation Statement and Stipulation and Proposed 

Order for Extension of Discovery Deadline)]. 

2. While the written discovery and one of the three depositions have been completed, 

two depositions remain to be completed. Those depositions were on track to be completed by July 

26, 2024, but Plaintiffs’ counsel of record in this case—both Michael D. Prough and Yas-Banoo 

Omidi—have become ill with Covid and require additional time to prepare for and be well 

enough to complete those pending depositions.

3. Because the deadline to complete discovery is currently set for July 26, 2024, the 

Parties informed the Courtroom Deputy of this issue by email dated July 19, 2024 prior to filing 

anything with the Court, as directed by the Court’s order dated July 12, 2023. [Dkt. 18]. The 

Parties have now agreed to further extend the deadline solely for the purpose of completion of the 

two pending depositions (Plaintiffs’ deposition of Erin McCusker and Defendant’s deposition of 

Eileen Jenkins) by 13 days, to August 8, 2024, and seek Court approval of that agreed-to 

extension. This is the second request to extend the deadline. No other case deadline is affected by 

this extension.
