The parties still need to complete the following depositions:

DATE DEPOSITION WITNESS NOTICING LOCATION PARTY 08/21/18 Las Vegas, NV Plaintiffs' Expert Scott Defoe Officer Lopera 08/22/18 Las Vegas, NV Officer Lopera's Expert Frank Plaintiffs Mir 08/22/18 Las Vegas, NV Officer Lopera's Expert Jamie Plaintiffs Borden 08/24/18 Las Vegas, NV Treating Nurse Cathy Vild Officer Lopera 09/12/18 Sequim, WA Coroner Alane Olson, M.D. Officer Lopera 09/24/18 San Diego, CA Defendants' Expert Dr. Gary Plaintiffs Vilke 09/24/18 San Diego, CA Defendants' Expert Dr. Binh Plaintiffs Ly TBD Louisville, KY Plaintiffs' Expert William Officer Lopera Smock TBD Las Vegas, NV Plaintiffs' Expert Terrence Officer Lopera Clauretie TBD Missouri LVMPD's Expert Lawrence Plaintiffs G. Lynch TBD Indiana LVMPD's Expert Jack Ryan Plaintiffs TBD Chicago, IL Defendants' Expert Dr. Stan Plaintiffs V. Smith

IV. REASONS WHY THE REMAINING DISCOVERY HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED.

One of the attorneys representing Plaintiffs, Federico C. Sayre, has two trials in other cases during the current discovery period. Mr. Sayre asked Defendants to stipulate to a thirty day extension of the discovery deadline, to which Defendants agreed. Officer Lopera's counsel also proposed that the extension be for forty-five days in case Mr. Sayre's trials were to go longer than anticipated or in the event any other unforeseen scheduling issues were to arise.

On Tuesday, August 7, 2018, Plaintiffs' counsel received from Craig Anderson, counsel for Defendant Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, the report of the Tactical Review Board, Force Investigation Report, and Critical Incident Review Process report. Plaintiffs would like to take the depositions of 1) Assistant Sheriff Tim Kelly, Chair; 2) Captain John Pelletier, Board Member; 3) Sergeant Ryan Evans, Tactical Expert; 4) Sergeant Jose Hernandez Peer Member; and 5) Detective Travis Ivie, Peer Member.

The LVMPD Defendants have agree to three additional depositions including (1) Tim Kelly, (2) Ryan Evans, and (3) Jose Hernandez. These depositions will be limited to recently produced documents. The LVMPD Defendants do not agree to five additional defendants. However, the LVMPD Defendants remain open to discussing additional depositions after the three depositions have been taken.

V. PROPOSED SCHEDULE FOR COMPLETING DISCOVERY

TASK CURRENT DEADLINE PROPOSED NEW DEADLINE Discovery Cut-Off Date Wednesday, September 12, Monday, October 29, 2018 2018 Dispositive Motions Thursday, October 11, 2018 Monday, November 26, 2018 Joint Pretrial Order Monday, November 12, 2018 Thursday, December 27, 2018

All other deadlines not expressly addressed above shall remain unchanged.

This request for an extension of time is not sought for any improper purpose or other purpose of delay. The parties have worked together at moving discovery forward and have conducted significant discovery up to this point.

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 discovery extension.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
