via video-conference with Mr. Hand remaining in Hong Kong. He need not, but may, comply with the 

document request served with the deposition notice;

3. Neither ABC nor Advance Energy is required to, but may, respond to the late-served

SHALL demonstrate good cause for the request to amend the case schedule.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
