Pursuant Rules 16 and 29 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, defendants KAPLAN, 

INC. and KAPLAN HIGHER EDUCATION, LLC (collectively, “Defendants”) and Plaintiff 

Marcella Jackson (“Plaintiff”), through their respective counsel, hereby jointly submit this 

stipulation for an order to extend the cutoff deadline for non-expert discovery one month, from 

October 29, 2014, to December 1, 2014. 

WHEREAS, on May 19, 2014, the Court issued a Scheduling Conference Order requiring 

that non-expert discovery be completed no later than October 29, 2014; 

WHEREAS, due to the varied geographic locations of the witnesses, the schedules of the 

parties and third-party witnesses, and the upcoming trial and hearing dates for Defendants’ 

counsel, the parties are unable to complete non-expert discovery prior to the October 29 deadline; 

WHEREAS, the parties believe they require a limited extension of time to complete all 

non-expert witness depositions and to propound written discovery, without affecting any other 

deadline established by the Court; 

WHEREAS, having reviewed the respective schedules of counsel and the remaining 

witnesses, the parties believe that non-expert discovery can be completed by or before December 

1, 2014. 

WHEREAS, the parties have not made any previous requests to extend any discovery 

deadlines in this action; 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by the parties 

through their undersigned counsel of record that: 

// 

// 

// 

//
