January 2015 at the earliest.

(8) Given the current status of discovery in this case, the fact that the final pretrial 

conference is set for February 23, 2015, and the fact that trial is not until May 19, 2015, the parties 

have met and conferred and have agreed that a further extension of the discovery cut-off, for the 

express, limited purposes of (i) taking the depositions of the three above-named individuals and 

(ii) responding to the currently outstanding written discovery requests would be in the best interest 

of each party.
