No. CV-08-01500-ROS

ORDER

The parties each seek an extension of the discovery deadline. In addition, Plaintiff

seeks leave to conduct the deposition of Defendant Robertson and for the Court to order an

independent medical exam of Plaintiff. The requested extension of the discovery deadline

will be granted, but Plaintiff has not established a deposition is appropriate. Plaintiff may

attempt to obtain the information he seeks by way of interrogatories or, if he wishes, he may

file a motion explaining why interrogatories would be inadequate. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 33

(explaining procedure for issuing interrogatories to parties). Moreover, Plaintiff has not

established the need for an independent medical exam. 

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED the Motions for Extension of Time (Doc. 58, 61, 64) are

GRANTED. The parties shall complete all discovery no later than January 3, 2011. The

parties shall file their dispositive motions no later than February 8, 2011.
