On February 9, 2010, the parties were cautioned that any further stipulation seeking modification of the scheduling order would be viewed with disfavor absent extraordinary circumstances. On May 20, 2010, the parties filed a request for another modification to the original scheduling order. The parties assert that Defendant, Sentry Select Insurance Company, had agreed to produce three witnesses for deposition in Stevens Point, Wisconsin on May 13 and 14, 2010. The parties state that the deposition of Tim Kelly, scheduled for May 14, 2010, could not proceed as planned because Mr. Kelly had a sudden family emergency. The parties agreed that it was more economical to reschedule all three depositions for a later date, rather than require the parties' attorneys to travel to Wisconsin from California on two separate occasions. Thus, the parties SENTRY SELECT INSURANCE COMPANY, an Illinois Corporation, Defendant. / LEXINGTON INSURANCE COMPANY, a Delaware Corporation, CASE NO. 1:08-cv-1539-LJO-SKO ORDER ON PARTIES STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND DISCOVERY DEADLINE FOR A LIMITED PURPOSE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT tentatively agreed to reschedule all three depositions to June 16 and 17, 2010, which is past the current discovery cut-off of June 7, 2010.
