Re: Dkt. Nos. 23, 24

Defendant Windsor Securities, LLC requests leave to take the deposition of Mark Goss, 

who is incarcerated, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30. Dkt. No. 23 at 2. It asserts 

that Mr. Goss has essential information relating to this case because he was the former trustee of 

the Joe E. Acker Family Insurance Trust (the Trust) during the relevant time period. Id. at 3. 

Windsor also moves to advance the hearing date on this motion, currently scheduled for June 3, 

2015, in consideration of the close of discovery on July 1, 2015. Dkt. No. 24 at 2. In support of 

its motion to advance, Windsor submitted a declaration of Russell F. Rowen that states that 

counsel for the plaintiff John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) and counsel for the other 

defendant, Mindy Goss (the current trustee of the Trust), do not oppose the taking of the 

deposition of Mr. Goss. Id. at 2. 

Windsor’s motion to advance the hearing date is GRANTED. The hearing shall be 

advanced to May 13, 2015 at 2:00 pm in Courtroom 2. Anyone opposing Windsor’s motion for 

leave to take the deposition shall file an opposition by the close of business on Monday, May 11, 

2015. No reply brief is allowed. If no one opposes the motion by May 11, 2015, I will vacate the
