restrictions placed on counsel regarding non-essential travel during the COVID-19 

pandemic. (See ECF No. 49 ¶¶ 6–8.) Further, Plaintiff’s experts are no longer available

on their noticed deposition dates for reasons associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. (Id.

¶ 9.) The parties request that the expert depositions of Dr. Dominick Addario, Dr. Alison 

Reminick, and Dr. Matthew Carroll be permitted to take place on April 24, April 16 and 

23, and May 4, 2020 respectively. (Id. ¶¶ 10–11.) The current expert discovery cut off is 

March 31, 2020. (ECF No. 37.)

depositions and preparing summary judgment briefing. (ECF No. 49 ¶ 9.) 

Good cause appearing (see Chief Judge Order No. 18), the parties’ Joint Motion 

(ECF No. 49) is GRANTED. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

(1) the parties have until May 4, 2020 to complete the expert dispositions via video 

conference for Dr. Dominick Addario, Dr. Alison Reminick, and Dr. Matthew 

Carroll as outlined above; and

All other dates and deadlines set forth in the operative scheduling order (ECF No. 10) 

remain in effect. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
