(ECF No. 45) which New York Life plans to timely oppose; 

NOW THEREFORE, the Parties, through their respective counsel of record, jointly 

stipulate—subject to the Court’s approval—to allow the depositions of Dr. Gould, Deanna 

Becker, Plaintiff, and Perry Cocozzo after the June 17, 2024 fact discovery cut-off. The Parties 

also stipulate, through their respective counsel of record —subject to the Court’s approval—to 

allow the limited deposition of Lacy Conte (i.e., the remainder of the 7 hours of deposition time 

that Plaintiff is allotted under Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(d)(1)). The depositions of Dr. Gould, Deanna 

Becker, Plaintiff, Perry Cocozzo, and Lacy Conte will be completed by the end of June 2024. 

The Parties believe that this will provide sufficient time for the Parties to conduct these 

necessary depositions. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
