24, 2020; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff intended to, and requested, to take the depositions of three of 

Defendant WAL-MART’S employees on February 5, 2020 and Walmart had agreed to produce 

the three employees on that date for deposition; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff’s counsel fell very ill in early February 2020 making it impossible 

for him to take the three depositions of the Walmart employees;

WHEREAS, the parties request a continuance of the discovery cutoff date from February 

14, 2020 to February 28, 2020; 

 WHEREAS, the continuance of the discovery cutoff requires continuing the expert

cutoff to May 8, 2020, and the final day to have dispositive motions heard to July 31, 2020; and
