A Statement Specifying the Discovery Completed (LR 26-3(a): 26 1. Plaintiff has made her initial disclosures pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a); 27 2.

A Specific Description of the Discovery that Remains to be Completed (LR 18 26-3(b): 19 1. Plaintiff’s deposition (currently scheduled for March 5, 2025); 20 2. The deposition(s) of Albertson’s LLC’s employee(s) Stephen Yoli and Jennifer Fargnoli; 21 3. The deposition of Defendants’ Rule 30(b)(6) witness(es); 22 4.

The Reasons why the Deadline was not Satisfied or the Remaining 2 Discovery was not Completed within the Time Limits set by the Discovery 3 Plan (LR 26-3(c): 4 Following removal, the parties litigated the potential for removal. The parties diligently 5 conducted discovery while this motion was pending, but due to that delay along with counsel’s 6 schedules, depositions currently cannot be scheduled in time to meet the current initial expert 7 disclosure deadline. In addition, Plaintiff needs to conduct additional discovery as to the location 8 where the subject incident took place and the responsibility among the Defendants for the area 9 where the subject incident took place, including employee and Rule 30(b)(6) depositions and a 10 site inspection, before she will be able to designate an expert on liability. The parties believe that 11 good cause exists to extend the discovery deadlines in this matter as they have been working 12 diligently in the discovery process and have not delayed it with the exception of being unable to 13 schedule depositions. Further, all of the discovery dates the parties wish to extend are more than 14 twenty-one (21) days from the submission of this Stipulation and Order. 15 D. A Proposed Schedule for Completing all Remaining Discovery (LR 26- 16 3(d): 17 Current Deadlines: Proposed Deadline: 18 Amend Pleadings: February 18, 2025 Closed 19 Initial Expert Disclosure: March 20, 2025 June 16, 2025 20 Rebuttal Expert Disclosure: April 18, 2025 July 16, 2025 21 Discovery Cut-off: May 19, 2025 August 15, 2025 22 … 23 … 24 … 25 … 26 … 27 … 28 … Dispositive Motions: June 18, 2025 September 12, 2025 Joint Pre-Trial Order: July 18, 2025 October 11, 2025 4 DATED this 13" day of February, 2025.
