UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF MISSOURI WESTERN DIVISION FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION, CASE NO. 4:14-cv-00815-BCW Plaintiff, Vv. BF LABS, INC., et al. Defendants. JOINT MOTION TO AMEND SCHEDULING ORDER Plaintiff Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and Defendants BF Labs, Inc., Sonny Vleisides, Darla Jo Drake, and Nasser Ghoseiri (“Defendants’’) respectfully request that the Court extend discovery deadlines for the Amended Scheduling Order (Dkt. No. 302). In support of its motion, the parties state as follows: 1. In March 2015, the Court issued an Amended Scheduling Order (Dkt. No. 302) setting forth deadlines for discovery and dispositive motions and setting the trial date. 2a The parties have engaged in discovery in this matter. The FTC has issued interrogatories, document requests, and deposition notices. Defendants have issued interrogatories, document requests, and requests for admission. The parties anticipate needing a short extension beyond the deadlines set in the Amended Scheduling Order to complete discovery. 3. All parties now request that the Court extend discovery deadlines in the Amended Scheduling Order by approximately two weeks. Only discovery deadlines would be affected. The proposed new deadline dates are as follows: 1 Case 4:14-cv-00815-BCW Document 341 Filed 07/01/15 Page 1 of 4 Action Scheduling Order Deadline Proposed Deadline Fact Discovery August 10, 2015 August 31, 2015 Designate Expert Witnesses August 24, 2015 September 14, 2015 Responsive Expert Witnesses | September 14, 2015 September 28, 2015 Expert Discovery October 5, 2015 October 19, 2015 4, The parties are seeking a brief extension in order to accommodate deposition schedules. The parties are not seeking an extension toward the deadline for dispositive motions and are not seeking to move the trial date. Thus, granting the requested extension would not impact any other deadlines in the Amended Scheduling Order and would not delay the case. WHEREFORE, the FTC and the Defendants jointly and respectfully request this Court amend the Amended Scheduling Order to extend certain discovery deadlines by approximately two weeks as set forth supra paragraph 3. 2 Case 4:14-cv-00815-BCW Document 341 Filed 07/01/15 Page 2 of 4 Dated: July 1, 2015 /s/ Helen Wong HELEN WONG, DC Bar #997800 LEAH FRAZIER, DC Bar #492540 GREGORY A.
