WILLIAM A. O'NEILL, et al., : 

Defendants. : SEPTEMBER 28, 1992 

MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO TAKE DEPOSITIONS 
  

Pursuant to the final pretrial order entered in this matter, 

the defendants are required to take the depositions of the 

plaintiffs' "outside" expert witnesses on or before October 15, 

1992. The defendants have undertaken this task but have been 

advised by the plaintiffs’ attorneys that three of the 

plaintiffs' "outside" expert witnesses cannot appear on dates 

which are available before October 15, 1992. The plaintiffs have 

offered alternative dates after October 15, 1992 for these three 

witnesses. The defendants have agreed to schedule these 

witnesses on the dates suggested by the plaintiffs' attorneys. 

Under the above noted circumstances, the defendants cannot 

take the depositions of all of the plaintiffs' outside expert

witnesses on or before October 15, 1992 as they are required to 

do by the pretrial order. 

To accommodate the schedules of the plaintiffs' "outside" 

experts, the defendants need an extension of time until October 

20, 1992 to complete those depositions. The defendants reserve 

the right to request a postponement of the date for trial for 

reasons which will probably become more apparent after the 

conclusion of the depositions which have been delayed at the 

plaintiffs' request. 

The plaintiffs have been contacted in regard to this motion 

and have no objection to the extension of time to complete 

depositions, but note that they would object to any request for 

postponement of the trial date. 

WHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, the defendants request 

an extension of time to take the depositions of the plaintiffs’ 

  
 



  

  

      

"outside" expert witnesses giving the defendants until October 

20, 1992,
