Defendant labeled its motion “The Trust’s Motion For Open Extension to Take the Deposition

of Alan Waskin.” (Doc. No. 118.) As Defendant did not request a hearing date or time prior to filing its

motion and seeks an extension of time less than twenty-eight (28) days from the filing date, the Court

interprets Defendant’s motion to be an ex parte motion.

(Id. at 2.) The Court, for good cause shown, grants in part Defendant’s ex parte motion. The

deposition of third-party witness Alan Waskin may take place on or before May 4, 2011. 

All other dates and deadlines remain as set and will not be modified absent good cause.

Additionally, the Court denies without prejudice Defendant’s request to supplement any summary

judgment briefing with information learned from Alan Waskin’s deposition. The Court notes that

this request should be made to the District Court judge assigned to the case, as motions for summary

judgment are set before Judge Battaglia

IT IS SO ORDERED.
