WHEREAS, pursuant to LR 26-3, the Parties agree on the following: 17 (a) Statement of discovery completed: The Parties incorporate by reference the 18 statement of discovery completed, as set forth in Plaintiffs’ June 9, 2023 19 (ultimately unopposed) Motion to Modify Scheduling Order. ECF No. 207 at 20 p. 8:10-19 (referencing ECF No. 204 at p. 3:17—4:19, which also referenced 21 ECF No. 182 at pp. 14:21—19:22). Since June 9, 2023, the following additional 22 discovery has been completed: 23 • Depositions of Defendants: 24 o J. Edward Daniels: July 5, 2023. 25 o Kelly Kabilafkas: July 7, 2023. 26 • Depositions of Plaintiffs: 27 o Raymonde Kanha (June 16, 2023) 28 o Alfred Bekhit (June 16, 2023) Page 3 of 7 Case 2:20-cv-02045-RFB-BNW Document 215 Filed 07/26/23 Page 4 of 7 1 2 o Martine Benezra (June 26, 2023) • 3 Additional third-party subpoenas: o Wells Fargo (July 10, 2023 – with documents received July 4 21, 2023) 5 o Follow-up subpoena to Wells Fargo (July 21, 2023 – with 6 documents expected July 28, 2023) 7 (b) Discovery that remains to be completed: The discovery that remains to be 8 completed includes the following primary items (without prejudice to 9 additional items that may arise as discovery continues): 10 • Depositions of remaining plaintiffs: 11 o James P. Carroll 12 o David Chin (scheduled for July 27, 2023) 13 o Evagelia Kostakis (scheduled for July 28, 2023) 14 o Denis Parsons (scheduled for July 28, 2023) 15 o Sofia Kardaras 16 o Jimmy Asmaklis 17 o Corradino Galuppo 18 o Michael Bescec 19 o Ernest Leboeuf 20 o Phillippe Legault 21 o Eftihios Listakis 22 o Giovanni Moncada 23 o Marc Riel 24 o Jaradeh Salim 25 o Hani Hamam 26 o Constantin Zissis 27 28 • Follow-up third-party discovery: o Follow-up subpoena to Wells Fargo (documents expected Page 4 of 7 Case 2:20-cv-02045-RFB-BNW Document 215 Filed 07/26/23 Page 5 of 7 1 July 28, 2023). 2 • Expert disclosures. 3 • Expert depositions. 4 (c) Reasons why deadline not satisfied or remaining discovery not completed: 5 Plaintiffs have made diligent efforts to pursue the discovery they need to 6 meaningfully prepare expert disclosures. Since the last extension on June 16, 7 2023 (ECF No. 210), Plaintiffs have completed the remaining party depositions 8 of J. Edward Daniels (July 5, 2023) and Kelly Kabilafkas (July 7, 2023). 9 Without waiving the work product privilege, in the process of preparing expert 10 disclosures, Plaintiffs realized the need for an additional subpoena to Wells 11 Fargo. As soon as Plaintiffs realized this need, they subpoenaed Wells Fargo on 12 July 10, 2023 and received documents on July 21, 2023. Plaintiffs promptly 13 reviewed the documents received from Wells Fargo on July 21, 2023 and 14 realized the need for a brief follow-up subpoena. Plaintiffs immediately 15 prepared and served a follow-up subpoena to Wells Fargo that same day and 16 requested documents by July 28, 2023. Wells Fargo has been very responsive 17 and Plaintiffs have no reason to doubt that they will receive additional 18 documents on July 28, 2023. Nonetheless, Plaintiffs anticipate that it will take 19 additional time to review, analyze, and fully incorporate the records from both 20 the July 10, 2023 Wells Fargo subpoena and the July 21, 2023 follow-up 21 subpoena into the expert disclosures. Although Plaintiffs have made significant 22 progress on their expert disclosures, and have devoted significant time and 23 resources to analyzing SEC filings, deposition transcripts, and nearly a hundred 24 thousand pages of documents (from Defendants and third-party subpoenas), 25 they do not anticipate being able to complete expert disclosures by July 31, 26 2023, the current deadline. 27 (d) Proposed schedule for completing all remaining discovery: In light of the 28 above, and for good cause showing, the Parties propose the following schedule Page 5 of 7 Case 2:20-cv-02045-RFB-BNW Document 215 Filed 07/26/23 Page 6 of 7 1 for completing all remaining discovery: 2 • Discovery Cut-Off – October 20, 2023 3 • Expert Disclosures – August 21, 2023 4 • Rebuttal Expert Disclosures – September 21, 2023 5 • Dispositive Motions – November 21, 2023 6 • Proposed Joint Pretrial Order – December 21, 2023, or 30 days after 7 the final dispositive motion is ruled upon. 8 WHEREAS, the Parties do not dispute that both sides have acted diligently since the last 9 request for an extension, and good cause supports an extension of approximately 21 days to each 10 remaining cutoff date, 11 THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED between the Parties, by 12 and through their respective attorneys of record, that the below-listed proposed schedule should 13 govern this case, without prejudice to requests for further extensions for good cause: 14 Discovery Cut-Off – October 20, 2023 15 Expert Disclosures – August 21, 2023 16 Rebuttal Expert Disclosures – September 21, 2023 17 Dispositive Motions – November 21, 2023 18 Proposed Joint Pretrial Order – December 21, 2023, or 30 days after the final 19 dispositive motion is ruled upon. 20 IT IS SO STIPULATED. 21 22 DATED: July 25, 2023 23 Respectfully submitted. 24 VC2 LAW NOVIAN & NOVIAN, LLP 25 26 27 28 By: /s/ Andrew B.
