Crutcher LLP 

for the latter part of May after her mother passed away, has requested that her deposition be taken on 

her next day off after returning from vacation, which is June 3, 2016, three days after the fact discovery 

cutoff; 

WHEREAS the parties would like to accommodate Ms. Smith’s request, if the Court will allow 

her deposition to be taken on June 3, 2016; and 

WHEREAS, the parties are not requesting any extension of the May 31, 2016 fact discovery 

cutoff, apart from this one deposition, or an extension of any other dates set by the Court’s prior 

scheduling orders, and do not believe that this one deposition on June 3, 2016 will otherwise affect the 

present pre-trial schedule; 

THEREFORE, good cause existing, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and 

between the Parties hereto, through their counsel of record, that they jointly and respectfully request a 

small modification of the deadline for fact discovery of May 31, 2016 to allow the deposition of third 

party witness Nicole Smith to be taken on June 3, 2016 to accommodate the request of Ms. Smith, with 

the fact discovery deadline of May 31, 2016 and all other dates set by the Court’s prior scheduling 

orders being otherwise unchanged.
