All other dates will remain the same as provided for in the July 2, 2014 scheduling 

order. 

GOOD CAUSE EXISTS FOR THE REQUESTED MODIFICATION AND 

EXTENSIONS 

Counsel for UPRR began conferring with counsel for Plaintiff in September 2014 for 

scheduling Plaintiff’s deposition. Counsel for Plaintiff, informed counsel for UPRR that due 

to their trial calendar the first available dates to schedule Plaintiff’s deposition would be in 

November 2014. After furthering conferring due to Plaintiff’s counsel’s trial schedule, 

counsel for UPRR noticed Plaintiff’s deposition for December 18, 2014. Taking into 

consideration Plaintiff’s counsel’s trial schedule, counsel for UPRR has been diligently 

attempting to schedule depositions for Plaintiff’s medical providers, however Plaintiff’s 

counsel is still currently in trial and not available to attend said depositions. 

Plaintiff has disclosed treatment with 20 distinct medical providers in his initial 

disclosures. The number and complexity of witnesses requires this extension because 

UPRR is attempting to schedule the depositions of Plaintiff’s disclosed medical providers, 

many of which are out of state doctors whose schedules dictate when and where their 

depositions may take place. 

On December 4, 2014 the parties held a discovery conference regarding the issues 

related to scheduling Plaintiff’s medical providers’ depositions prior to the January 30, 2015 

deadline. The parties are working diligently and cooperatively to schedule these 

depositions but cannot accomplish them with holidays and Plaintiff’s counsel’s trial calendar.
