matter. (Dkt. No. 57) Magistrate Claire is presiding over the subsequent meet and 

confer related to this motion, which will affect the final production of documents 

Defendant will make. Magistrate Claire set a compliance hearing on September 20, 

2024. (Dkt. No. 63) Defendant’s final production of documents will not occur until 

after the compliance hearing; 

3. Defendants are in the process of scheduling depositions of Plaintiff S.O. 

and her mental health providers; 

4. Under the current deadlines, lay discovery would close less than one 

month after the final production of document occurs. If the lay discovery deadline 

remains the same, Plaintiff would have insufficient time after the final document 

production to take all outstanding liability depositions, propound additional written 

discovery or to notice additional witnesses as necessary; 

5. The Parties hereby jointly stipulate and request that the following pretrial deadlines as set forth in the Scheduling Order (Dkt. 53) be modified and 

extended days as set forth below:

resolution. The parties cannot adequately prepare the case for trial without
