(PROPOSED) ORDER GRANTING 

EXTENSION OF DISCOVERY

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding through counsel. The only remaining defendant in 

this case is Phillip Beck, M.D. On July 8, 2014, the parties filed a stipulation to reopen discovery 

regarding the elements of causation and damages. The Court determined there was good cause to 

reopen discovery, and by way of an order on July 18, 2014, discovery was reopened until October 

31, 2014.

On September 11, 2014, the parties filed a stipulation to extend the time for discovery until 

January 9, 2015. The parties did not receive updated medical records until August 20, 2014. These 

records identified two treating physicians, Dr. Boles Bishay and Dr. Luan Do, who need to be 

deposed regarding plaintiff’s current medical condition and treatment if this case proceeds to trial. 

On September 9, 2014, defendant received plaintiff’s initial settlement demand in this case. 

The parties are currently discussing possible settlement of this matter. Based on the foregoing, 

there is good cause to extend the discovery deadline to January 9, 2015. This will allow the parties
