Rather, the parties seek this extension solely to allow sufficient time to 2 conduct the remaining depositions. 3 The parties are currently working to resolve the issues with the current notice of the 30(b)(6) 4 deposition, that may require litigation. 5 Counsel for Defendant is attending to family obligations involving medical issues over the 6 next few months that will continue to require him to be out of the jurisdiction for extended periods 7 of time. As a result, Counsel for Plaintiff, and Counsel for Defendant, despite their best efforts, 8 have been unable to coordinate the last few remaining depositions to be taken in this matter. Their 9 requested extension of time will allow them ample time to immediately finalize the scheduling of 10 these depositions in advance of their proposed close of discovery. 11 A ninety (90) day extension of the discovery deadlines will allow the parties to coordinate 12 and prepare for the remaining depositions. For those reasons, the parties respectfully request a brief 13 extension of the discovery deadlines in this matter. 14 Extension or Modification of The Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order. LR 26-3 governs 15 modifications or extension of the Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order.
