REASON DISCOVERY WAS NOT COMPLETED. 7 The Parties discussed the details of the original contract compliance review (“Audit”) and 8 determined it was necessary to revise the current Audit to narrow the issues subject to the dispute. 9 The revised Audit has just been completed. The Parties are requesting this extension to allow 10 times for the Trust Funds and Defendants to discuss certain details of the revised Audit, which is 11 pivotal to this current matter. In addition, there are multiple in and out-of-state depositions that 12 need to be coordinated to accommodate the schedules of counsel. 13 D. CURRENT DISCOVERY SCHEDULE: 14 1. Discovery Cutoff July 19, 2018 15 2. Dispositive Motion Cutoff August 20, 2018 16 3. Pretrial Order Cutoff September 19, 2018 17 E. PROPOSED DISCOVERY SCHEDULE: 18 1. New Discovery Cutoff September 17, 2018 19 2. New Dispositive Motion Cutoff October 17, 2018 20 3. New Pretrial Order Cutoff November 16, 2018 21 4. In the event dispositive motion(s) are filed, the date for filing the joint pretrial 22 order shall be suspended until 30 days after the Court enters a ruling on the 23 dispositive motions, or otherwise by further order of the Court. 24 /// 25 /// 26 /// 27 /// 28 7 16959334 1 This is the Parties’ third request for an extension of the discovery deadline dates. The 2 requested extension is not made to delay this matter, but made in the hopes of facilitating a 3 resolution or the narrowing issues at dispute in this matter. Based upon the foregoing, the Parties 4 believe there is good cause for the requested extension. 5 6 7 8 9 BROWNSTEIN HYATT FARBER SCHRECK, LLP PINTAR ALBISTON, LLP /s/ Christopher M. Humes Adam P.
