4. WHEREAS Defendant’s Counsel was unsuccessful in securing the deposition of the 

percipient witnesses for February 25, 2019. 

5. WHEREAS Plaintiff’s Counsel has only recently located Joana Styx and Sergio Macias at 

their new address after retaining a private investigator. 

6. As a result of the recent location of Joana Styx and Sergio Macias and the need to locate and 

depose Jose Nunez, the parties request that the discovery closure date be extended to March 

25, 2019. 

7. Furthermore, Defendant’s Counsel intends to take the depositions of the paramedics, Travis 

Crothers and Tom Bowring, who arrived on scene shortly after the incident. The parties 

request that the discovery cut-off date be extended to March 25, 2019 so that the parties may 

take the depositions of civilian witnesses Jose Nunez, Sergeo Macias, Joanna Styx and 

paramedics Travis Crothers and Tom Bowring. 

IT IS RESPECTFULLY REQUESTED AND SO STIPULATED.
