WHEREAS, under the Court’s August 18, 2010 Order, the deadline for fact discovery is

respective dates noticed for their depositions; and 

WHEREAS, Defendant-Intervenors made reasonable efforts to secure the depositions of 

Mr. Holsman and Mr. Hassoun before the deadline for fact discovery; 

WHEREAS, both Mr. Holsman and Mr. Hassoun are unable to schedule their depositions 

before September 3, 2010; 

NOW, THEREFORE, Plaintiffs Associated General Contractors of America, San Diego

Mr. Holsman and Mr. Hassoun may be rescheduled for September 8, 2010.

limited to the depositions of non-parties Mr. Holsman and Mr. Hassoun.
