Plaintiff’s First Set of Request for Production of Documents1; 

3. Without a final Order regarding the production of these documents, 

Plaintiff has been unable to proceed with liability depositions or additional written 

discovery; 

4. Defendants are in the process of scheduling depositions of Plaintiff S.O. 

and her mental health providers; 

5. Under the current deadlines, lay discovery closes in one month, on July 30 

2024. Even if an Order was issued on the pending motion immediately, Plaintiff would 

have insufficient time to take all outstanding liability depositions, propound additional 

written discovery or to notice additional witnesses as necessary; 

6. The Parties hereby jointly stipulate and request that the deadlines as set 

forth in the Scheduling Order (Dkt. 36) be modified and extended 60 days as set forth 

below:

Lay Discovery Cutoff 07/30/2024 10/25/2024

p.m. 

Jury Trial 05/05/2025 8/4/2025 at 8:30 

a.m. 

7. This is the Parties’ third request to modify the scheduling order. 

8. Good cause supports this joint request, as the pre-trial modifications would 

allow the parties to complete fact discovery needed for trial or pre-trial resolution. The 

parties cannot adequately prepare the case for trial without additional time to complete 

discovery. 

1 RFPD Set One was served July 6, 2023.

them to resolve outstanding issues, complete discovery and prepare the case for trial. 

The parties may need to request additional time, pending resolution of Defendant Rescue 

Union School District’s Motion for Reconsideration. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
