If the Court grants this extension, the parties have agreed to re-schedule the deposition for 

December 23, 2016, which is the next date available for Plaintiff and counsel. 

Based on the foregoing, the parties respectfully request that the discovery cut-off is continued to 

December 23, 2016, for the sole purpose of taking Plaintiff’s deposition.
