On August 2, 2023, DKM filed its Reply in Support of Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff 16 Homesite’s Third Amended Complaint Pursuant to FRCP 12(b)(6). 17 Discovery Remaining 18 1. The parties continue participating in written discovery. Specifically, the parties are in 19 the process of meeting and conferring regarding supplemental discovery responses in 20 light of the Court’s entry of the protective order on July 18, 2023. The defendants 21 have, to date, objected to written discovery on the grounds that a protective order had 22 not yet been entered into the action. Now that the Court has entered a protective 23 order, plaintiffs have requested that the defendants provide supplemental discovery 24 responses to those discovery requests to which the protective order objection no 25 26 27 28 longer applies. Determining the nature and extent of the supplemental responses is a necessary precondition to an evaluation of what discovery responses remain at issue; further meet and confer is necessary; and whether motion practice will be necessary. There are at least five (5) separate sets of written discovery at issue between the 7 Case 2:21-cv-02167-RFB-DJA Document 106 Filed 08/09/23 Page 8 of 13 1 parties. The defendants are working diligently to sort through their prior responses 2 and determine what, if any, supplemental responses are necessary. This process is not 3 complete as of the date of this motion. 4 5 6 7 8 9 2. Resolution of the issues regarding supplemental discovery responses to written discovery described above is a necessary precondition to plaintiffs’ proceeding with depositions, particularly corporate representative depositions pursuant to FRCP 30(b)(6). As of the date of this application, the parties anticipate potentially taking the following fact depositions: • Ray Marx and Traci Marx; • Alyssa Dillard and Seth Dillard; • Nyda Dell Marx; • Rule 30(b)(6) deposition of Homesite • Mary Pouliot (Thetford, LLC employee); 15 • Heather Ing (Thetford, LLC employee); 16 • Keith Stickley (Norcold, LLC employee); 17 • John FitzSimons (former DKM/Thetford/Norcold officer); 18 • Rule 30(b)(6) depositions of Norcold Inc./Norcold LLC, Thetford 10 11 12 13 14 Corp./Thetford LLC, and DKM; 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 • Rule 30(b)(6) deposition of CWI, Inc., Camping World of Henderson, Camping World, Inc. 3. The parties may take the depositions of any and all other witnesses garnered through discovery. 4. The parties will disclose expert witnesses pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26. 5. The parties will take expert depositions. Why Remaining Discovery Has Not Yet Been Completed The parties aver, pursuant to Local Rule 26-3, that good cause exists for the following request for extension. This request for an extension of time is not sought for any improper 8 Case 2:21-cv-02167-RFB-DJA Document 106 105 Filed 08/09/23 08/07/23 Page 9 of 13 1 purpose or for the purpose of delay. Rather, it is sought by the parties for the purpose of allowing 2 the parties sufficient time to conduct discovery and adequately prepare for trial. The parties seek 3 additional time because the litigation outlined above continues to give rise to complex issues and 4 disputes that the parties are attempting to resolve. 5 Currently, the parties are working together to evaluate the effect of the Court’s entry of 6 the protective order in this action on July 18th; the nature and extent of supplemental discovery 7 8 response necessitated by the entry of the protective order; and the nature and extent of discovery still at issue. Despite meet and confer efforts, begun shortly after the entry of the protective 9 order, the parties have not yet been able to resolve any of these issues, and it is clear that there is 10 11 12 13 14 15 insufficient time remaining before the current fact discovery cut off date of August 28, 2023 to settle all of these issues and complete all of the depositions anticipated by the parties. For these reasons, the parties jointly seek court intervention to extend the fact discovery cut off date to January 8, 2023, contemporaneous with the current expert discovery cutoff. In addition, there are motions that remain pending before the Court that are intertwined 16 with the written discovery at issue between the parties, and/or the deposition discovery 17 anticipated by the parties. The motions include the Marx/Dillard plaintiffs’ motion to remand 18 based on lack of diversity jurisdiction, and DKM’s recently filed motion to dismiss Plaintiff 19 Homesite’s Third Amended Complaint, which Plaintiff Homesite opposes. Due to the pending 20 issues and the areas of dispute set forth in the motions on file with the Court, the parties have not 21 been able to proceed with pre-trial discovery and depositions at the rate they previously 22 anticipated. 23 24 25 26 Accordingly, the parties request a further modification and extension of the current fact discovery deadline to allow for the opportunity to resolve the above referenced disputes with the assistance of the Court so that discovery and trial preparation can proceed smoothly for the benefit of all parties. 27 28 9 Case 2:21-cv-02167-RFB-DJA Document 106 Filed 08/09/23 Page 10 of 13 1 2 Extension of Modification of the Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order Local Rule 26-3 governs modifications or extension of the Discovery Plan and 3 Scheduling Order. Any stipulation or motion to extend or modify that Discovery Plan and 4 Scheduling Order must be made no later than twenty-one (21) days before the expiration of the 5 subject deadline and must comply fully with LR 26-3. 6 7 8 This is the third request for extension of time in this matter. The parties respectfully submit that the reasons set forth above constitute compelling reasons for the extension. The following is a list of the current discovery deadlines and parties’ proposed extended 9 deadlines: 10 11 12 13 14 Scheduled Event Fact Discovery Cutoff Expert Disclosure pursuant to FRCP 26(a)(2) 16 18 19 20 21 22 Simultaneous Rebuttal Expert Disclosure pursuant to FRCP 26(a)(2) Expert Discovery Cut-off Plaintiffs: Thursday, August 31, 2023 No Change Monday, November 27, 2023 Monday, January 8, 2024 Mediation Completion Date Tuesday, February 13, 2024 27 No Change Dispositive Motions Tuesday, February 13, 2024 25 26 No Change No Change 23 24 New Deadline Monday, January 8, 2024 Defendants: Monday, October 30, No Change 2023 15 17 Current Deadline Friday, April 28, 2023 August 28 No Change Joint Pretrial Order To be set pursuant to LR 26-1 (both cases) 28 10 To be set pursuant to LR 26-1 Case 2:21-cv-02167-RFB-DJA Document 106 Filed 08/09/23 Page 11 of 13 1 2 WHEREFORE, the parties respectfully request that this Court extend the fact discovery deadline from the current deadline of August 28, 2023 up to and including January 8, 2024. 3 4 Dated: August 7, 2023 GROTEFELD HOFFMANN LLP 5 /s/ Lilla Shkolnikov LILLA SHKOLNIKOV Attorneys for Plaintiff Homesite Insurance Company 6 7 8 9 10 11 Dated: August 7, 2023 LAW OFFICES OF TERRENCE A.
