UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF DISCOVERY DEADLINE 
  

NOW COME, Plaintiff-Intervenors, Houston Lawyers 

Association, Alice Bonner, Weldon Berry, Francis Williams, Rev. 

William Lawson, Deloyd T. Parker and Bennie McGinty, and 

respectfully move this Court for an order extending the deadline 

for discovery until September 8, 1989, and as grounds therefore, 

state the following: 

XI. 

The Court has ordered that all discovery is to be completed 

by September 5, 1989. The Joint Pre-Trial Order is to be filed 

on September 11, 1989. Trial is to commence on September 18, 

1989. 

 



  

1X. 

The parties have engaged in extensive discovery. However, 

discovery cannot be completed by September 5, 198%. Depositions 

are scheduled by the Defendant-Intervenor Wood for August 30 and 

31, 1989. The Defendants wish to take depositions on September 

6, 1989. Plaintiff-Intervenors have requested the deposition of 

Defendant-Intervenor Wood, however, the exact date has not been 

set in order to accommodate the schedule of Intervenor-Wood. 

11. 

The extension of discovery for a three day period, until 

September 8, 1989, will not delay the trial of this case. All 

parties agree that discovery should be extended until September 

8.1989. 

WHEREFORE, for all the foregoing reasons, Plaintiff- 

Intervenors pray that this Court enter an order directing that 

the parties shall have until September 8, 1989, to complete 

discovery. 

Respectfully submitted, 

et. £-
