STIPULATION AND ORDER 

EXTENDING CUTOFF 1. Case No. 2:13-cv-01187-KJM-CKD

STIPULATION 

Plaintiff RICHARD STAFFORD (“Stafford”) and Defendant DOLLAR TREE STORES, 

INC. (“Defendant”) have been diligently working to complete all discovery by the August 13, 2015 

deadline. However, due to unforeseen issues, the parties have been unable to complete the following 

depositions: (1) the conclusion of Defendant’s 30(b)(6) witness, (2) the deposition of non-party 

witness Kenneth O’Neal, and (3) the deposition of non-party witness Christopher Bryant.

Defendant produced witnesses for all topics listed in Plaintiff’s 30(b)(6) notice, including 

witness Christine Yu. Plaintiff was unable to complete Ms. Yu’s deposition in a single day, and 

while the parties were scheduling a final day of deposition, Ms. Yu moved to the Philippines, and is 

therefore unavailable. Defendant is diligently working on finding a replacement witness, but due to 

scheduling concerns the deposition may not go forward prior to the discovery cutoff. 

Defendant served non-party Kenneth O’Neal with a deposition subpoena on June 30, 2015, 

commanding Mr. O’Neal to appear for deposition on July 14, 2015. Without any excuse, Mr. O’Neal 

did not appear for his deposition. Defendant served another subpoena on Mr. O’Neal in August 

2015, commanding him to appear for deposition on August 11, 2015. Mr. O’Neal responded 

indicating that he was not available any time prior to the discovery cutoff, but that he was available 

on August 25, 2015. 

Defendant served non-party Christopher Bryant with a deposition subpoena on May 5, 2015. 

Without excuse, Mr. Bryant did not appear for his deposition on May 21, 2015. Defendant has been 

diligently attempting to serve Mr. Bryant with a second deposition subpoena, but Mr. Bryant is 

evading service. 

Therefore, the parties, by and through their respective counsel of record, hereby stipulate and 

agree that that the non-expert discovery cutoff should be extended until September 15, 2015, but 

only with respect to the depositions of the witnesses identified above. The parties also stipulate and 

agree that Defendant shall produce documents responsive to Requests for Production Nos. 66, 67 

and 77 no later than September 15, 2015.
