STIPULATED MOTION AND ORDER TO EXTEND 

FACT DISCOVERY DEADLINE

WHEREAS, on May 12, 2016, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. Proc. 45, SEI hand-served an 

amended deposition subpoena for testimony and production of documents on Dolarian Capital, 

Inc. (DCI), by serving Ara Dolarian as agent for DCI, with the deposition set for June 1, 2016 

(Dominguez Decl., ¶ 6, Ex. C (with proof of service attached).); 

WHEREAS, Ara Dolarian subsequently informed SEI counsel that Mr. Dolarian is 

travelling abroad and will not be able to attend the deposition on the date set in the notice of 

deposition and that he may not be returning to Fresno until mid-June 2016 or later (Dominguez 

Decl., ¶ 7, Exs. D and E.); 

WHEREAS, the Parties are also engaged in meet and confer sessions regarding the 

responses to the written discovery and it is appears the parties may not be able to reach resolution 

without Court intervention (Dominguez Decl., ¶ 8.); 

WHEREAS, considering the foregoing, a non-expert discovery deadline of July 4, 2016, 

may not provide the parties sufficient time to bring any disputes to the Court for resolution related 

to either depositions or written discovery prior to the non-expert discovery cut-off; 

WHEREAS, the parties do not contemplate the need for retention of experts in this action 

and, as such, can modify the expert discovery dates without requiring an extension of the expert 

discovery deadline; and 

WHEREAS, the requested extension will not require a continuance of the trial date set for 

June 6, 2017.

STIPULATION

THEREFORE, it is hereby stipulated and agreed by the parties, as follows:

1. The deadline for non-expert discovery shall be extended to August 15, 2015;

2. Expert disclosures, if any, shall be made by August 22, 2016; and 

3. Supplemental Expert disclosures, if any, shall be made by September 15, 2016.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED
