EX PARTE APPLICATION TO EXTEND DISCOVERY CUT-OFF
1
Defendant (in one of the consolidated actions) ANDREW KATAKIS (collectively the
2
“CEMG/Fox Hollow Parties”) and as such is a duly licensed and practicing attorney before all
3
courts in the State of California and in this court.
4
5
6
2.
Your declarant is lead counsel on behalf of the CEMG/Fox Hollow Parties
in this action and makes this declaration of his own personal knowledge.
3.
Your declarant applies on behalf of the CEMG/Fox Hollow Parties, for an
7
order of this court extending the current discovery cut-off of June 15, 2011, for the depositions of
8
Gregory Mauchley, Stanley Flake and Andrew Katakis, up to and including Friday, July 29, 2011.
9
10
4.
Good cause supports this request in that, among other things:
a.
The CEMG/Fox Hollow Parties filed a motion to compel further
11
written responses, further production of documents, and for sanctions against various Defendants,
12
including Defendant Gregory Mauchley, which such motion as to Mr. Mauchley only has been
13
continued to July 8, 2011, to afford time for Mr. Mauchley to provide supplemental written
14
responses and a production of documents.
15
b.
Mr. Mauchley’s deposition, that is currently set for June 9, 2011, in
16
Salt Lake City, Utah, would occur without the benefit of the supplemental responses and
17
production, and accordingly the CEMG/Fox Hollow Parties wish to avoid the risk of the need to
18
reconvene Mr. Mauchley’s deposition and so request that discovery cut-off be extended with
19
respect to his deposition so that it could occur after the supplemental responses and production
20
are provided (and if necessary, the resolution by the court of any remaining issues).
21
22
23
c.
The CEMG/Fox Hollow Parties have noticed the deposition of
Defendant Stanley Flake for June 14, 2011.
d.
The attorneys for Mr. Mauchley have advised that they wish to take
24
the deposition of Mr. Katakis and Mr. Mauchley’s counsel and CEMG’s counsel have agreed to
25
the date of June 15, 2011.
26
e.
Counsel for the CEMG/Fox Hollow Parties, Mr. Mauchley, Mr.
27
Flake, wish to conduct all three depositions in California and Mr. Mauchley has agreed to come
28
to California, with the goal of having the depositions occur in a three day sequence that is

EX PARTE APPLICATION TO EXTEND DISCOVERY CUT-OFF
1
currently being discussed (the dates of July 11, 12 and 13 have been tentatively agreed to pending
2
confirmation of he availability of one of the witnesses).
3
f.
Judicial efficiency would be achieved by permitting these three
4
depositions to occur beyond the current June 15, 2011 discovery cut-off, as long as they occur
5
prior to July 29, 2011, which is the cut-off date for non-dispositive motions.
6
5.
Counsel for Mr. Mauchley (Mr. Tracy [pro hac vice pending] and Mr.
7
Rindlisbacher) and counsel for Mr. Flake ( Janlynn Fleener) on behalf of their respective clients
8
have consented to and join in this request for an extension of the discovery cut-off with respect to
9
these three depositions.
10
11
6.
As explained above, the interests of justice are served by and good cause is
provided for the extension of the discovery cut-off requested.
12
7.
No extension of the discovery cut-off is requested in this ex parte
13
application, except as to those three depositions, each of which will occur for no more than one
14
day.
15
16
Your declarant declares under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct and
that this declaration is executed by him on this 3rd day of June, 2011, at Fresno, California.
